Bruichladdich 3D "The Peat Proposal"
Mothballed by previous owners Whyte & Mackay, Bruichladdich distillery was revived in the year 2000 by indy bottler Murray McDavid. For a long time the distillery was the black sheep of Islay, on account of producing unpeated whisky in order to meet its owner's blending requirements. Contrary to general expectations though, this also made it a hit with the locals who were presumably sick of the sight of peat.
Since its resurrection, and under the guiding hand of maestro Jim McEwan, Bruichladdich hasn't shied away from experimentation in cask management, quadruple distillation, love-it-or-hate-it presentation, and the introduction of the heavily peated Port Charlotte and (REALLY heavily peated) Octomore ranges. Oh, and they make a mean gin too.
All the threes! The 3D is a vatting of three different vintages, matured in three different cask types, with three different peating levels.
Distilled: 1989, 1998 & 2001
Cask Type: Refill Sherry, Refill Bourbon & 1st Fill Bourbon
46% ABV / 70cl
