About this bottle
Matured in a fresh Sherry hogshead, cask number 376, filled on 12th May 2006 and bottled at 16 years old. This cask was brought for Erin, daughter of the owners of The Wee Dram, Bakewell, Derbyshire who turned 18 in 2023.
Being a smaller cask, 250 litres as opposed to the normal 500 litre sherry butt, the wood has worked it's magic well , imparting rich, fruity notes onto the fine, delicate Bruichladdich spirit. It has been bottled at 16 years old, a real "sweet spot" where maturation is concerned.

Since Murray McDavid saved the distillery in 2000, with an asking price of £6.5 million. Bruichladdich has gone from strength to strength after a difficult initial period. Now under the ownership of Remy Cointreau, it is one of Islay’s most recognisable whiskies and brands. Remy brought much-needed financial clout that has allowed Bruichladdich to expand into new markets, build warehousing and pursue its brand of terroir. Today, it offers 3 distinctly different distillates, with the Bruichladdich being unpeated, a historical homage to a lost distillery (Port Charlotte) is heavily peated and well regarded. Then at the top of the peat ranking charts is Octomore, which pushes peat in new directions to an eager audience. Expect production details, various casks and eye-catching branding with each and every release from the distillery.
