- Description
- This Bruichladdich spent 29 years maturing in a single refill sherry butt from 1990 to 2020, bottled by Signatory at cask strength with just 546 bottles. The extended maturation in sherry wood would have deepened the spirit's natural peaty character with rich dried fruit and spice, typical of Islay's layered approach to aging.
