Age: 25 Years Old

ABV: 48.1% (Cask Strength)

Cask: Oloroso Sherry/ PX Sherry

Size: 700 ml

This Bruichladdich 25 years is a very special edition originally released for the Travel Retail market. An unpeated Islay Single Malt whisky with complex maturation (executed in collaboration with winemaker Jan Pettersen) which includes Oloroso Sherry and PX (Pedro Ximinez) Sherry Casks. Finding a Bruichladdich matured in Sherry Casks is quite unusual since the new make is fairly delicate and floral and the folks at Bruichladdich are extra careful that the maturation in Sherry Casks should not overpower these distillery characteristics.

A limited release of 6000 bottles. WhiskyBase - 90+ Points (an average of over 350 votes) Whiskyfun rating of 87 points. A remarkable bottling indeed.
