Bruichladdich 2009 Private Rivesaltes Cask 10 Year Old #3653

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.

This whisky was distilled in October 2009 and aged in single Rivesaltes Oak Hogshead #3653 for 10 years before being bottled privately. This particular bottle is being sold via the owner of cask #3653.
