With the Bruichladdich 18 Year Old, the distillery commemorates its new start after the Sleeping Beauty awoke in 2001. It is a permanent addition to the Bruichladdich portfolio according to the advance announcements. To what extent it will actually be permanently available remains to be seen. The 18 year old whisky was bottled at 50% ABV.
This is an ultra-high provenance single malt. Every single element of The Bruichladdich Eighteen – from the specific harvest and barely varietals used to the exact casks it has matured in – is fully traceable. Which, for a whisky of this age, is quite incredible.
