Bruichladdich 36 Year Old Legacy Series #1 75cl / US Import

Like its island neighbour Bunnahabhain distillery, Bruichladdich has traditionally been an un-peated single malt, mostly owing to its requirements by the blenders who owned it. The last of these was Whyte and Mackay, who eventually shut it down in 1995, deeming it surplus to requirements. They sold the distillery to Murray McDavid in 2001, who launched the peated Port Charlotte and heavily-peated Octomore single malts in 2006 and 2008. A recommissioned Lomond still also now produces the popular Botanist gin there.

Bruichladdich produced the Legacy series from 2002 until 2007, this is the first release which was distilled in 1966 then bottled in 2002 to celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee.
