ORIGINAL BOTTLING
There are not many bottlings of this particular vintage.
Judging by the quality of the previous Vintage cask releases,
i.e. 1968, 1967 and 1964, we expect
this one to be excellent too.

THE BOTTLERS
This company has found some excellent casks and are all from good distilleries.
The Port Ellens are always popular, the Taliskers are always good but
rare, the last bottling of
Clynelish was very good so this should be similar,
but we recommend the Glen Elgin, Mortlach and the Cragganmore.

Closed in 1994, the Bruichladdich Distillery lay dormant until Murray
McDavid and Jim McEwan bought it on 19th December 2000. The distillery
was reformed to her former glory and the first spirt ran into the
Spirit Safe at 8.26 a.m. on 29th May 2001.
Re-launched with an exciting new livery and presented in a great looking
tin canister, you too can experience the new Bruichladdich range.
