To Infinity and Beyond

Infinity was created to showcase the length of palate associated with Bruichladdich. This bottling, the third in the series, is an ideal digestif.

Jim McEwan, Bruichladdich’s head distiller, started his whisky career 45 years ago as an apprentice cooper rising to be master of the trade; he knows all there is about casks.

That knowledge, together with renown distilling experience, led to his creation of Infinity 3,  from specifically chosen casks out of over 35,000 maturing in our different warehouses.

Quercus Alba better known as American oak, is inextricably linked with Bourbon production.  But unusually, in this case, the association is entirely with Spain.

Exclusively Spanish Quercus Alba, mainly refill Sherry and Ribero (tempranillo) casks, were selected for this multi-vintage single malt - from several ages, styles and peat levels.

The peatiness has been upped slightly over the two original bottlings, stocks of which are exhausted. This is a general release with stocks expected to last until 2011/12.

The brief for this decidedly personal cuvée was to produce a complex, multi-layered malt with a provocatively infinite finish: the ideal digestif dram - mellow, rich, spice and fruit.
