Bruichladdich Valinch 29 Roddy MacEachern 50cl

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.

These hand filled bottlings are available exclusively to visitors to the distillery. Valinchs are by definition only ever at cask strength, from a single barrel, and selected for their individuality. Each Valinch released has its own label and title, usually to commemorate a specific event.

This bottling features Roddy MacEachern, who is in the I.T. Administrator and Market Compliance department at Bruichladdich, on the label.
