Lot number: 089-0065

Winning bid: £60

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 set contains one 50cl bottles of Bruichladdich Waves, one 5cl Bruichladdich 12 Year Old, one 5cl Bruichladdich 15 Year Old, two branded whisky glasses, a whisky tasting DVD and a whisky range booklet.

Bruichladdich Waves

The Waves is a Jim McEwan creation that uses a combination of Bourbon and Madeira casks, and various peating levels to bombard your taste buds with "wave after wave of complex flavour". We see what you did there Jim.
