Bruichladdich 15 Year Old 2nd Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl, 46% ABV

Released after the reopening of the Islay Distillery this is the second edition of their 15 year old and was finished in Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes casks.

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.
