Bruichladdich Peat, Rocks & Waves 3 x 20cl
Lot number: 081-0351
Winning bid: £140
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.
This lot contains three Buichladdich the Waves, that uses a combination of Bourbon and Madeira casks, Peat which apparently 'does what it says on the tin' with phenol levels of 35ppm and Rocks that is designed to be taken with ice.
46% ABV / 20cl
