Originally released as a duty-free exclusive as part of Bruichladdich’s Re/Define range, this is an unpeated 21 Year Old Islay single malt. The whisky was distilled from 100% Scottish barley and matured in a cask recipe of 80% bourbon and 20% sherry casks, while the packaging is made from recyclable paper pulp shaped to fit the bottle, all crafted using 100% green energy.

Bruichladdich 21 Year Old – Re/Define Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Marshmallow fluff, warehouse funk, burnt toffee, and dried figs. The coastal DNA emerges in sea spray and beach pebbles, finishing with a fresh lift of lemon and orange zest.

Palate: Bright and juicy orange juice, pineapple, and lemon sherbet burst onto the tongue, followed by vanilla bonbons and sticky marmalade. Toffee apples bring a rounded sweetness, backed by a gently maritime mineral note.

Finish: Long, balanced, and warming, with sweet citrus and soft spice hanging in harmony.

Distillery Information

Bruichladdich was built by Barnett Harvey in 1881. Five years later, the Bruichladdich Distillery Company was founded and renovation and refurbishment commenced. The ‘Laddie’, as it is affectionately known, is often considered to be the fruitiest, most inventive Islay malt and, indeed, there has been some contention as to whether it has truly attained Islay-status. Bruichladdich countered this with the introduction of the Port Charlotte range and later with the 2008-released Octomore, the world’s most heavily peated whisky with a phenol content of 131ppm. Then the distillery went almost the complete opposite direction and created The Botanist Gin! The gentle character of the spirit is attributed by some to the milder weather conditions at Bruichladdich’s locality, sheltered, as it is, from Mother Nature by the Rhinns, the rugged Islay mountain range. Following the death of the then owner, Barnett’s son William Harvey IV in 1936, the distillery was run by Kenneth Harvey and sold a year later to Joseph Hobbs for the sum of £23,000. Silent for the latter part of the Second World War, Bruichladdich closed its in-house maltings in 1961, bringing malt in from the Islay maltings at Port Ellen. Enjoying good fortunes, further stills were added in 1975 to grapple increasing demand.
