Bruichladdich Golder Still 1984
Lot number: 230272
Winning bid: £125
The "Still" series started with the now legendary (and sadly unobtainable) "Blacker Still" and concluded in 2008 with this absolutely sublime dram.
A rare limited edition, unique in that the classic 1984 spirit was matured in unusual, hand-made squat American bourbon hogsheads – experimental "dumpy" casks that American coopers flirted with briefly in the eighties.
This extra wood contact has produced a spirit reminiscent of an older style of whisky, an alluring and haunting barley sugar character of a bygone age.
