SCYFOOD > Whisky Bruichladdich 1992 A Final Act of Creation 23 Year Contact Customer Service ENQUIRY Like its island neighbour Bunnahabhain distillery, Bruichladdich has traditionally been an un-peated single malt, mostly owing to its requirements by the blenders who owned it. The last of these was Whyte and Mackay, who eventually shut it down in 1995, deeming it surplus to requirements. They sold the distillery to Murray McDavid in 2001, who launched the peated Port Charlotte and heavily-peated Octomore single malts in 2006 and 2008. A recommissioned Lomond still also now produces the popular Botanist gin there. This was former master distiller, the legendary Jim McEwan's "final creation" at Bruichladdich, although his legacy of wine cask maturation lives on today. Matured in a Château Latour red wine cask for 23 years, before bottling in 2015 at 52% ABV, in honour of his 52 years of distilling (at the time of bottling). One of 220 bottles released. Bottled Strength: 52% Bottle Size: 70cl
