Bruichladdich X4+3
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.
A unique spirit, this was the first first Quadruple pot still distillation of Scotch whisky in 300 Years. The spirit reached a massive 92% in the stills and was originally released as the X4. This 3 year old was matured half in traditional bourbon casks and half specially commissioned virgin oak (hand-coopered in France) thick-staved hogsheads.
Limited to 15,000 bottles.
