About this bottle
Bruichladdich Thirty is one of two single malt expressions to debut in its Luxury Redefined series and the first two of its permanent high age statement whiskies for the brand. Made with 100% unpeated malted barley, the whisky was distilled in 1989, 1991 and 1992 — prior to the brand's closure in 1994. The barrels were safeguarded and Bruichladdich was resurrected in 2001. The whisky was matured on Islay exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels (50% was matured entirely in refill hogsheads while the other 50% was recasked into fresh bourbon barrels after 20 years in refill hogsheads). Bottled without chill-filtration at 43.2% ABV, it's available beginning February 2024. (SRP $1,999.99)
