Bruichladdich 1990 Rare Cask Series 27 Year Old / HB '90

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.

This expression was first filled into Bourbon casks for 17 years before being moved to French wine casks in 2007 for a further 10 years.

One of 12,000 bottles released exclusively for Travel Retail.
