About this bottle
One of a trio of "Still" bottlings (Blacker Still and Golder Still are the others), this bottling was distilled in 1984 and aged initially in first-fill bourbon casks. It was then finished in French Tronçais oak which formerly held Château Lafleur red Bordeaux, a highly regarded wine from Pomerol. Only 4,080 bottles were produced and it is bottled at 50.4% ABV.

One of the highlights of a recent Bruichladdich session. Like many of the older wine-influenced Laddies, its backbone is some well-structured tannins that balance the fruitier flavors.
Exceptionally good
