Winning bid: £80

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.

Note from Jim McEwan, then master distiller:

"Following the success of 3D2 I decided that the new recipe for my friend Norrie's tribute bottling should be the most heavily peated of the series with more passion, warmth and personality to reflect the character of Islay's last traditional peat cutter who supplied all the great Islay malt distillers with peat until the last advance of the machinery used today. Lord help the angels when Norrie comes knocking on heaven's door."

3D3 contains three malts - Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore - at three different ages, and is the most heavily-peated of the 3D releases.

46% ABV / 70cl
