Product description

The 18-year-old single malt whisky from Bruichladdich's new High Provenance series is produced using 50% barley from the Scottish mainland and 50% barley grown, harvested and processed on Islay.Each variety and the year of harvest are fully traceable. Bruichladdich's terroir approach from farm to bottle sets new standards with this bottling. The Bruichladdich Wrap is the first packaging of its kind in the whisky industry to be made from 100% fully recyclable paper pulp. The new, weight-optimised bottle design also helps to optimise sustainability and reduce the distillery'sCO2 footprint. It is no coincidence that Bruichladdich is one of the few B-Corp certified whisky companies in the world. Strict requirements must be met and adhered to at all times in order to obtain certification, which is monitored at regular intervals by a responsible government commission. The whisky itself first matures in ex-bourbon casks and is then finished in Sauternes and port wine casks. Before it is filled into modern bottles at 50% vol. without being chill-filtered and without the addition of colour, the three types of cask are married together for nine months.
