1989 Bruichladdich The Black Art Edition 01 19 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Reportedly the very first in the Black Art series, this now exceptionally rare Laddie will be sought after by anyone desiring to complete a collection. Matured in x bourbon barrels, then finished in ‘assorted wine casks’ and limited to 6000 bottles world wide. Non chill filtered.

Note: Some minor damage to the bottle's front label and a minor scratch to the front of the tin canister. One only to sell.

Other reviews... Colour: rosé wine. Nose: very, very winey. Wine cellar, wine barrel, cassis liqueur, cooked strawberries and a mild mouldiness. Certainly not unpleasant but very far from my favourite style. Really smells of red wine, maybe more than any other wine finished whisky I ever tried. Mouth: spectacularly winey and grapey. Marc de Bourgogne, strawberry liqueur, crème de cassis. Finish: long, on the same notes. Comments: I think we’re closer to wine (or wine liqueurs, pousse-rapière, macvin and such) than to whisky here. Not that it’s not good stuff, mind you, it’s very well made but it’s been pushed to the limits of the concept in my view (and taste). 81 points - Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com
