Black Art Bottling Note
The second release of Bruichladdich's Black Art whisky 'Matured in the Stygian* darkness of Warehouse number 12'. *relating to the river Styx. (no? us neither. We reckon someone's been at an online thesaurus). Bloody good whisky though.

The Black Art At Bruichladdich.
Has there ever been a harder working team than the Marketing Dept at Laddie? They do come up with reams and reams of designs, scripts and piffle. I'm afraid the only Black Art being practised over the water from Bowmore is Manic Marketing. Thank goodness for all the true Islay Distilleries!

Truly awesome cask finish
One of the most exciting whisky releases this year. There is so much to explore...
The other rating must be biased on smoky whisky, which has nothing to do with this wonderful dram.

Makign whisky taste good
My wife was put off whisky 30 years ago after trying some blended whisky. The warming rich flavour of this remarkable whisky is now costing me a lot of money. The smooth rich wine finish stays on the pallet and the flavour lingers for a while. You can almost "chew it" she said. Keep up the good work but make it a bit cheaper please

I fathom to guess...
the first reviewer has never actually tried this whisky. I am a huge fan of smokey Islays... Indeed I love them! But I am open-minded enough to know a good dram when I taste one. This is one, marketing enthusiasm aside. What you nose finishes completely different. I love that about this bottle and the Laddie in general. Keep up the good work Mr Jim. And don't listen to the snobby nay-sayers.
