Bruichladdich 1970 35 Year Old / 125th Anniversary

This 35 year old Bruichladdich was bottled to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the distillery.

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 whisky has been aged for 35 years in American oak and then finished for a short time in Pinot Gris cask. Presented in a lovely wooden box.
