Bruichladdich 1993 Valinch 'Oirthir Gaidhea' 50cl / Feis Ile 2009 - Signed by Jim McEwan
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.
The Valinch bottlings are 50cl single cask releases, available exclusively from the distillery. Later versions have also been hand-filled by distillery visitors.
Distilled on the 22nd April 1993 and laid to rest in sherry cask #13 before being bottled for Feis Ile 2009.
One of 1,000 bottles produced.
