Tasting notes: In contrast to heavily-peated Port Charlotte and the mighty peat of Octomore, Bruichladdich itself retains the traditional, minimal peat level of 3-5 ppm. However, casks for this first bottling alone were surprisingly selected from a small, one-off distillation of lightly-peated barley, at an experimental 10 ppm.
The whisky, a pale gold colour after maturing in premium quality American oak, was naturally bottled, with out chill-filtration and colouring-free, on Islay.
MD Mark Reynier says, “Our progressive outlook is inextricably linked to our Hebridean heritage - which means Bruichladdich will always stand out from the crowd.
“2001 is a Spirit Odyssey, an exciting journey into the new millennium.”
Tasting notes: "A Single Malt Out of The Black Art of Alchemy
al-kimia was an ancient, mysterious and secretive Arabic philosophy. It involved the search for ultimate wisdom, immortality and using the water of life and philosopher’s stone.
Our own alchemist, Jim McEwan, was similarly tasked to use his own extensive skills to produce an ultimate nightcap dram; a brooding, complex and bewitching Bruichladdich. Using the 1989 vintage, the bottling was created from an exceptionally wide variety of cask types and oak origins, precisely what he won’t say. It’s his secret. And he ain’t telling."
Tasting notes: Medium weight and well defined for a young Islander. The texture is rich, sweet and mellow and the viscosity of the Sauternes brings balance to the power of the peat. A most sophisticated Octomore - it’s kind of unbelievable to see “The Beast” tamed a little!
