About this bottle

The 16th annual series of Bruichladdich's super heavily-peated single malt (80+ ppm) launches in September 2025 with three expressions followed by a distillery only exclusive in November 2025. Like the 16.1 bottling, this 16.2 expression is also made with 100% Scottish concerto barley peated to 101.4 ppm and was aged for 5 years. However, oloroso sherry & Bordeaux wine casks are used for the initial maturation followed by Madeira and Portuguese Moscatel wine casks for finishing. It's bottled without chill-filtration at near cask strength of 58.1% ABV. Available beginning September 2, 2025. (SRP $244.99)
