Bruichladdich 12 Year Old 1998 Ancien Regime - Fèis Ìle 2011

Bruichladdich's 1998 vintage was distilled under previous ownership and represents the distillery's early revival when it reopened in 2000. Matured in bourbon casks for 12 years before being released for Fèis Ìle 2011 in an outturn of 2,500 bottles, this Islay expression carries the lighter, more delicate character the distillery pursued before moving toward heavier peating. The bourbon maturation preserves the distillery's maritime and fruity notes without sherry influence. This historic bottling suits collectors interested in Bruichladdich's evolution and Islay enthusiasts who appreciate subtlety over smoke.
