Bruichladdich 1984 Redder Still

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 is the second in the "Still" series, and followed the Blacker Still release. It was distilled in 1984 and bottled after 22 years in 2007. Matured in first-fill bourbon casks prior to being finished in Chateua Lafleur Bordeaux.

One of 4,080 bottles.
