Bruichladdich Black Art 1990 23 Year Old Edition 04.1

Born from a distillery with a rebellious spirit on the Islay coast, this Bruichladdich Black Art 1990 is a 23-year-old testament to unconventional whisky-making. Revived in 2000, Bruichladdich uniquely pursued unpeated expressions, appealing to a local palate seeking respite from Islay’s typical smokiness, and later embraced bold experimentation under the guidance of Jim McEwan. This fourth, and final, Black Art release from McEwan himself is a shrouded mystery – a carefully concealed blend of American bourbon and French oak wine casks. Expect a complex character, hinting at dark fruits and subtle spice, delivered at a robust 49.2% ABV, embodying a depth alluded to in its Shakespearean namesake.
