We are delighted to release another excellent example of first fill bourbon barrel-matured Bruichladdich. The distillery character shines through - exactly how it’s creator, Jim McEwan, would have been striving for. Barrel #3203 was filled on 21st September 2011, and bottles at natural cask strength of 61.0% on 12th February 2025, making this delightful Laddie 13 years old. 216 bottles were yielded from the barrel.

Nose Diluted – Salted caramel, loads of vanilla and toffee.

Taste Diluted – Again very sweet with vanilla, heaps of toffee, white fruit, McCowan’s Highland Toffee and a very fruity finish.
