Lot number: 087-2714

Winning bid: £390

Mothballed by previous owners Whyte & Mackay, Bruichladdich distillery was revived in the year 2000 by independent 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.

The sixth in the Legacy series from Bruichladdich. The series is made up of the oldest and rarest casks at the distillery. This is a vatting of casks from 1965, 1970 and 1972. Each bottle is adorned with artwork by Frances McDonald, the famed Scottish artist. This bottle depicts "Evening surf, Kintyre"
