Bruichladdich 30 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
Bruichladdich 30 Year Old (officially named "Bruichladdich Thirty" by the distillery) is a landmark release distilled across 1989, 1991, and 1992, prior to the distillery's shutdown in 1994. Kept safeguarded by just two remaining staff members throughout the seven years Bruichladdich stood closed, these legacy casks now form a whisky that honors both the distillery's Victorian heritage and the men who preserved it through its darkest years. Matured entirely in hand-selected, exceptionally rare ex-bourbon casks for three full decades, this unpeated single malt reflects the purity and grain-forward focus Bruichladdich has built its reputation on since reopening in 2001.
Bottled at 43% ABV with no added color, the nose brings sweet toasted oak, honey, and soft vanilla, layered with delicate floral notes of rose and geranium alongside a hint of dark chocolate. The palate reveals mature aromatics of gentle vanilla, silky oak, tropical fruit, and decadent apple pie, evolving into subtle maritime sea air, a nod to the whisky's entirely Islay-based maturation. The finish carries warm oak tang and unexpected notes of coffee and cocoa emerging at the very end.
As one of Bruichladdich's oldest and most limited age statement releases, this 30 year old single malt stands as a genuine piece of distillery history, making it a landmark addition for serious Islay collectors and Bruichladdich enthusiasts alike.
