BRUICHLADDICH 18 Year Old Re/Define
Bruichladdich Eighteen represents a coming of age for Bruichladdich Distillery and embodies sustained commitment to our values.
“This is an ultra-high provenance single malt. Every single element of The Bruichladdich Eighteen – from the specific harvest and barely varietals used to the exact casks it has matured in – is fully traceable. Which, for a whisky of this age, is quite incredible.
18 years ago, we distilled spirit from our first ever crop of home-grown Islay barley and our passion to diversify and champion our cereal growing programme has never wavered. It’s about making delicious whisky with real provenance which also benefits our community – and The Bruichladdich Eighteen is the embodiment of this ethos.”
BARLEY VERIATAL: The Bruichladdich Eighteen is made using a combination of Scottish Mainland, Islay and Organic barley, with each varietal and harvest fully traceable from farm to bottle
MALTING: Unpeated
DISTILLATION: Distilled in 2004, single vintage expression
AGE: 18 Aged Years
MATURATION PROFILE: The single malt has matured exclusively on Islay primarily in ex-bourbon casks. These bourbon casks, together with a smaller number of Sauternes and Port casks, are vatted and married for nine months before bottling to balance Bruichladdich’s signature floral and fruity character.
STRENGTH: 50% ABV
