Bruichladdich 1989 23 Years Bourbon / Premium French Oak Cask No. 026 Valinch 2013 Lions Tour Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Strength 49.9% Vol. - one of 400 bottles of an outstanding Islay Single Malt!
A rare vintage 1989 23 year old Bruichladdich Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled on 16th October 1989 and after many years of maturation in a Bourbon cask enhanced for further years in a premium Pomerol French oak cask with cask no. 026 and bottled in the year 2013 in the Valinch limited single cask series for the Lions tour 2013 without added colouring or chill filtration at cask strength 49.9% vol. in an edition of only 400 hand numbered bottles.
A valinch, possibly from a Spanish term, is the name applied to a large, copper pipette used to take cask samples from whisky barrels. The view is if you have made the effort to get to Islay then you deserve something just a little extra special. Valinchs are by definition only ever at cask strength, from a single barrel, and selected by Jim McEwan for individuality. Each Valinch released has it's own label and title, usually to commemorate a specific event or person.
A rare and unique bottling of a stunning Bruichladdich Islay single malt, which shows in an impressive way in taste the maturation in the Bourbon Cask and the finish or double-maturation in the famous Pomerol French oak wine cask with a complex aroma and the extremely successful combination and influence of the noble Pomerol wine.
An extraordinary and exquisite Bruichladdich Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky that expressively demonstrates the cask artistry of Master Distiller Jim McEwan and special highlight for connoisseurs, the discerning whisky collector and lovers of fine old Scotch whiskies.
