Bruichladdich Black Art 05.1

Bruichladdich is an award-winning distillery employing generations of distilling knowledge and the principle of minimal intervention. Built in 1881 on the wild Scottish island of Islay, our distillery still uses the original Victorian equipment to create a range of single malt whiskies that are trickle distilled, matured and bottled solely on Islay by a skilled team of 78 men and women. Bruichladdich implements revolutionary, modern interpretations of time-honored ideas and challenges the comfortable conventions of a whisky establishment. Rejecting the onset of modern automation and homogenization, our Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, only considers production methods that place the quality of liquid above everything else. Diversity starts in the field. We believe the interaction of man, land, soil and climate is paramount.

Tasting Notes

On the nose are complex, lavish fruit notes of cherry, mango, apricot,damson and a warming orange citrus all swathed in an oak blanket of soft brown sugar, vanilla and figs dipped in syrup. The palate is graceful, and through the velvet quality that comes from the age of the spirit, you find damson, mango, pineapple, melon straw-berry, plum and apricot. One after the other they weave in and out of focus on your palate while the structure of the oak gives honey, tobacco, vanilla and hints of spicy cinnamon. Light stone fruits and a cream texture are a delight with a perfect balance of oak, malt and fruit. Giving way to a a gentle floral mellowness that leaves a lasting impression.
