Valinch Bottlings


Wednesday, 4 April 2012 POSTED BY Mark Reynier IN Library

These are the DIY bottlings available exclusively to visitors to the distillery.

A valinch, possibly from a Spanish term, is the name applied to a large, copper pipette used to take cask samples from whisky barrels.

Our view is if you have made the effort to get here 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 for individuality. Each Valinch released has it’s own label and title, usually to commemorate a specific event.

    Black Art 3


    Thursday, 29 March 2012 POSTED BY Mark Reynier IN News
    The latest bottling of the infamous Bruichladdich
    Black Art 3
    Black Art 3

    48.7% Alc./700ML Vol.
    Now the third edition of this extraordinary bruichladdich concept release. provocation as much for the mind as the palate.
    £95.00
    INC VAT
    is due out from the 9th April.
    “Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before...” Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven, 1845.
    Black Art is a decadent cuvée of Bruichladdich, crafted by Jim to be that late night, witching hour dram. It's a brazenly selfish single malt.
    It's also a secretive whisky from the dark side, one where Jim plays his alchemic cards very close to his chest. An imaginative use of French and American oak casks are involved, that much we do know, but how and what he does remains Jim's secret.
    Even at Bruichladdich we have learned not to pry too much; instead we have learned to trust what's in the glass, and to enjoy the unbridled pleasure of Black Art.
