Bruichladdich 1990 Black Art 23 Year Old Edition 4.1

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 fourth Black Art release, distilled in 1990 and bottled as a 23 year old. Matured in a wide variety of American and European oak wine casks, this is now an annual release within the Bruichladdich core range.
