A malt spirit from Islay. This was distilled at Bruichladdich, and was the first quadruple pot-distilled spirit made from just barley in around three centuries! The spirit reached an eye-watering 92% ABV in the stills, brought down to a hearty 50% before bottling.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Candy sticks and sugar syrup arrive first with a jammy scent swiftly following. Then comes the spirit with a slight methynated spirityness and notes of sweet potato.
Very spirit forward like poteen with a nuttiness that becomes more jammy with water.
Very hot, spirity and clean with a longer finish than would be expected for this style of drink.
A true accomplishment in how far a pot still can be pushed.
