Bruichladdich Black Art Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bruichladdich Black Art 1990 Edition 04.1 23 Year Old is a rare and limited-edition Islay single malt crafted at Bruichladdich Distillery. Distilled in 1990 and matured for 23 years, this expression is part of the enigmatic Black Art series, known for its secretive cask composition personally selected by the head distiller. Matured in a complex combination of high-quality oak casks details undisclosed it is bottled at 49.2% ABV, non-chill filtered, and naturally colored. Unlike heavily peated Islay styles, this release is unpeated, showcasing remarkable depth and elegance with notes of dark berries, dried fruits, honey, toasted oak, warm spice, vanilla, and subtle floral undertones. The palate is rich and velvety with layered sweetness and refined oak influence, leading to a long, smooth, and contemplative finish. Highly collectible, Black Art 04.1 exemplifies Bruichladdich’s innovation, craftsmanship, and dedication to complex cask maturation.
