product Details

Bruichladdich 2006 Graeme Kirk Valinch 13 Year Old / Refill Sherry Cask

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 & 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.

The Valinch bottlings are 50cl single cask releases, available exclusively from the distillery. More recent versions have also been hand-filled by distillery visitors.

This is the 50th release of the Bruichladdich valinch series and this particular release celebrates mashman and stillman, Graeme Kirk. 

The whisky was distilled in 2006 and aged for 13 years in refill sherry cask #3066. One of 822 bottles.
