Rated 90+ on Whiskybase across 21 votes. "..Excellent, all on olive 'juice' (I like that), anchovies again, smoked fish, a little cider, oysters again (just any breed)... Not much medicinal notes and the peatiness is, say 'controlled'. Very good. Finish: long and extremely briny and salty. Comments: whichever the wood technology that's inside, this is brilliant whisky provided you like these kinds of ueber-briny profiles that only Bowmore can also display. I do..." - Whisky Fun Comments. A Whisky Fun rating of 5 Stars and 92 points.

Distillery: Bruichladdich
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.
