Single Malt
Scotland
Poise and Perseverance
1 Jan 1990
Wine Cask
A single cask bottling of Bruichladdich single malt, independently bottled for the Poise and Perseverance range - and wouldn't you know it, this one shows off plenty of poise after persevering thought its 28-year-long maturation! This Islay whisky was distilled back in 1990, and before being bottled nearly 30 years later, it was treated to a finishing period in a Rivesaltes wine cask, inheriting elegance and richness notes from the French dessert wine that previously inhabited the cask.
Venerable. Oatcakes, barley grist and reduced apple juice combine with the merest suggestion of woodsmoke.
A richly varnished drawing room with chesterfields and tales of implausible travelling companions in the bookshelf in the corner.
Fades into clove, allspice, then ginger biscuits and ultimately the lick of woodsmoke returns to draw proceedings to a close.
