    This 30 year old single malt not only celebrates the resurrection of our Victorian distillery but pays homage to the men who laid down this spirit three decades ago. The future of Bruichladdich was uncertain in the early 1990s. From the brink of permanent closure to now the largest private employer on Islay, Bruichladdich Distillery and the local community has slowly rebuilt and flourished over the past three decades – all while this spirit has quietly matured.

    The Bruichladdich Thirty has spent the entirety of its maturation life in handpicked, exceptionally rare ex-Bourbon casks. A limited and refined single malt Scotch whisky, The Bruichladdich Thirty is bottled at 43% bringing the sweetness of toasted oak, honey and soft vanilla to the fore. Delicate yet complex, a hint of dark chocolate complements the spirit’s elegant floral profile while the gentle influence of sea air lingers – a subtle nod to the whisky’s all Islay maturation.

    Bruichladdich

    Bruichladdich Distillery is not just a whisky maker; it’s a pioneering force in the world of Scotch. Since its resurrection in 2001, Bruichladdich has set out to challenge the traditional norms of whisky production, focusing on flavour, terroir, and the importance of sustainable agricultural practices. Unlike other Islay distilleries, Bruichladdich produces whisky without the use of peat for many of their expressions, letting the barley shine through with pure, unadulterated character.

    With a philosophy deeply rooted in provenance, Bruichladdich’s approach involves tracing every ingredient from its source, respecting the agricultural ecosystems, and making whisky with integrity. The distillery’s meticulous distilling process includes slow fermentation in wooden washbacks, trickle distillation through tall, narrow-necked stills, and maturation in an ever-evolving suite of top-quality casks. This commitment ensures that Bruichladdich whiskies, are crafted with the highest standards of quality, in line with their aim to provoke thought and spark positive change within the whisky industry.

    Tasting notes

    NOSE
    Coconut, Brazil Nuts, Geranium

    The gentle influence of oak opens on the nose, bringing notes of coconut, wild gorse flowers, Brazil nuts and a hint of vanilla. Subtle floral notes of geranium and rose are paired with pear drops and candied lemons, with soft spices and a whisper of cinnamon complementing Bruichladdich’s signature maritime character.

    PALATE
    Toasted Oak, Honey, Leather

    The delicate sweetness of toasted oak comes to the fore, followed by light fruits, honey, fudge and a hint of leather. The gentle floral profile opens with time, revealing an immense depth of flavour. The American oak shapes the softness of the flavour, with the delicate salty tang of fresh Islay sea air unmistakable on the palate.

    FINISH
    Sea Salt, Vanilla, Warm Oak

    The spirit’s all-Islay maturation has a significant influence on the finish, with a vibrant tang of sea salt balanced with warm oak, while soft vanilla and sweet coconut lingers.
