Bruichladdich 1986 30 Year Old 44.6%

Ultra-rare.
This is our elegant, floral Bruichladdich with intense, full-term sherry maturation. First filled into oloroso butts in 1986, this spirit lay untouched in our loch-side warehouses until 2012 [already 26 years old], when our then master distiller Jim McEwan decided to supercharge this sublime single malt by filling it into our privileged parcel of pedro ximinez butts from winemaker Jan Pettersen at bodega fernando de castilla.
Poignantly, this dram is made up of our very last seven casks of 1986 spirit – the magnificent seven. This is a dram with a history and a backstory that will be hard to beat. Sherry plus. Sherry 2.0. Sherry to infinity and beyond!

One of 4200 Bottles
Matured in Oloroso Casks until 2012, then in PX casks until bottling.
