Bruichladdich 36 Year Old DNA

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 & 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.

Bottled in December 2008, this is a 36 year old Bruichladdich that was matured in 80% bourbon and 20% sherry casks prior to a Chateau Le Pin finish.

In Jim McEwan's words this represents, "The precious legacy of those who went before us; a tribute to our past and a celebration of what is to come."
