  Bruichladdich 18 year old The Kinship 2023 Single Islay Malt Whisky 61,5%

  Item no.: 222555-45539

  On Islay, they say some casks simply wait for the right moment. This is one of them — 18 years in the dark, ready to be celebrated alongside the island's biggest news.

  Expert description

  Bruichladdich 18 Year Old The Kinship 2023 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Hunter Laing, matured in a single cask and bottled at cask strength, 61.5%.

  The whisky is part of Hunter Laing's Kinship series, which in 2023 arrived at its seventh and final edition. The series was created to mark the opening of Hunter Laing's own distillery, Ardnahoe, on Islay, and the name Kinship refers to the closeness Ardnahoe shares with the island's other distilleries. The Bruichladdich bottling is the youngest in the closing edition, which otherwise spans whiskies as old as 33 years from names like Bowmore and Bunnahabhain.

  The whisky comes from a single cask and is bottled at its natural cask strength, with no colouring or chill filtration. Only 245 bottles were drawn from this particular cask, making it one of the rarer releases in Hunter Laing's Islay portfolio.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Black pepper and caramel, combined with a hint of macerated red berries. A richness runs through it all, hinting at the long maturation.

  Palate

  Baked apples, nutmeg and a distinct hint of French oak. The cask strength gives a solid bite, but never overpowers the fruit.

  Finish

  Long and spiced, with a lingering oak warmth that lingers on the palate long after the last sip.

  Investment potential

  Medium — this is the final edition in a now-completed and sought-after series from Hunter Laing, with only 245 bottles from a single cask bottled at cask strength. Being the youngest and most accessible bottling in the Kinship series, however, interest is somewhat more muted than for the series' older releases.

  Did you know?

  The Kinship series was created to celebrate Hunter Laing finally opening its own distillery, Ardnahoe, after decades as a pure independent bottler. Ardnahoe sits on Islay's north-east coast, overlooking the very distilleries many of the series' bottles come from.

  Bruichladdich 2003 Little Brown Dog 22 year old Bourbon Barrel Single Islay Malt Whisky 53,6%

  Item no.: 222355-88888

  On the label sits the dunes of Kintra, painted by a Danish artist in memory of his grandfather. Behind that story lie 22 years in a single bourbon cask, the one Little Brown Dog called the jewel of their collection.

  Expert description

  Bruichladdich 2003 Little Brown Dog is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 22 years in a bourbon barrel and bottled at 53.6%.

  The whisky was distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2025 by independent bottler Little Brown Dog, after more than two decades of maturation in a single bourbon cask. The cask was originally part of a parcel of four, but stood out so distinctly in taste, depth and structure according to the bottler that it was purchased on its own.

  Only 140 bottles were drawn from this single cask. Each bottle carries an original label featuring an oil painting by Danish artist Bjarne Helverskov Andersen, depicting the dunes at Kintra on Islay, a personal tribute to the artist's grandson, who sold the cask on to Little Brown Dog.

  To preserve its raw, authentic character, the whisky is bottled through a 20-micron filter rather than the finer filters typically used, which can leave natural cask sediment in the bottle.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Warm bourbon notes, vanilla and light caramel, with a hint of ripe fruit and citrus oil.

  Palate

  Deep, mature and creamy with warm bourbon sweetness, citrus oil and a maritime undercurrent from the Islay coast.

  Finish

  Long, full-bodied and oily, with a lingering sweetness and a hint of salt.

  Bruichladdich 2010 Islay Barley Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 22227865406-barley

  2010 Islay Barley is a tribute to local farmers. The grain is grown on Islay itself, and the whisky shows what terroir means when the land is allowed to speak through the glass.

  Expert description

  Bruichladdich 2010 Islay Barley is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, distilled from locally grown barley and bottled at 50%.

  The grain for this release is grown by local farmers on Islay, part of Bruichladdich's ongoing work to show how the island's own soil shapes flavour. The whisky is matured in a combination of American and French oak casks.

  The result is an unpeated single malt where the grain's earthy character and the sweetness of the casks play off each other with no peat to complicate the picture.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh barley and apple, with a light honeyed sweetness, an earthy base and a touch of vanilla oak.

  Palate

  Round and malty with notes of pear, citrus and a gentle spiciness from the French oak.

  Finish

  Medium length and softly rounded, with a finish of honey and lightly toasted grain.

  Bruichladdich 21 year old Private Cask 1352 Bourbon Hogshead Islay Single Malt Whisky 58,1%

  Item no.: 2233-912669

  Some casks get filled and forgotten for a few years. This one was filled in 2003, held by a German collector for two decades, and finally bottled at full strength, a tribute to patience.

  Expert description

  Bruichladdich 21 Year Old Private Cask #1352 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in a bourbon hogshead and bottled at 58.1%.

  The cask was filled in 2003 and owned by German whisky enthusiast Hans-G. Lund, before being bottled at full cask strength after 21 years. The whisky shows the distillery's unpeated, fruity and maritime style, lifted by more than two decades of maturation in a single cask.

  Around 250 bottles were drawn from this single hogshead, making it a rare opportunity to taste a privately owned Bruichladdich bottling of this age.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Vanilla, citrus oil, fresh oak and a clean, grainy sweetness, gradually joined by ripe stone fruit, honey and a subtle sea breeze.

  Palate

  Intense and full yet silky, with vanilla pod, lemon curd, malt and white pepper, carried by a creamy texture and a fine maritime minerality.

  Finish

  Long, clean and elegant with lingering citrus, sweet malt and a dry, lightly spiced oak elegance.

  Bruichladdich 29 years old Black Art Edition 10.1 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 45.1%

  Item no.: 059763-615-238

  Some whiskies tell you everything about themselves. Black Art does the opposite. Edition 10.1 is the tenth release in Bruichladdich's most secretive series, where neither the barley nor the cask type is ever revealed, and the mystery is the whole point.

  Expert description

  Black Art Edition 10.1 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 29 years and bottled at 45.1%.

  The Black Art series is the distillery's most secretive release. Neither the barley variety, the cask type, nor the exact maturation recipe is ever disclosed, and that's deliberate. The series is about alchemy rather than facts, leaving the interpretation to nose and palate instead of a spec sheet.

  Edition 10.1 was bottled in 2022 after 29 years of maturation, an age that gives the whisky a deep, almost shimmering complexity. Non-chill filtered and with natural colour, it stands exactly as the cask has shaped it over nearly three decades.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark dried fruit, old oak and a tangy sherry edge, mixed with a touch of wax and smoked tea.

  Palate

  Rich and layered with fig, dark chocolate and spiced ginger, slowly giving way to a dry, tannic oak note.

  Finish

  Long, dry and enigmatic, with a persistent spiciness and a hint of smoked wood that lingers.

  Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2012 Orkney Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 059763-615-236

  Orkney grows a grain older than whisky itself. Bere Barley 2012 is Bruichladdich's tribute to this almost-forgotten variety, distilled unpeated and matured for a full decade so the grain's own character can stand entirely on its own.

  Expert description

  Bere Barley 2012 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 50%.

  Bere is Britain's oldest cultivated grain variety, used by Scottish farmers and distillers for centuries before modern, high-yield barley strains took over the fields. As part of its terroir project, Bruichladdich sourced this barley from the Agronomy Institute at Orkney College to show what a single grain can do for flavour, independent of soil or cask.

  The whisky comes from the 2011 harvest, was distilled in 2012 and has spent a full decade on cask, so both the grain and the wood are left to speak for themselves, with no peat to get in the way.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  White grapes, toasted oats and a touch of orris root meet ripe apricot, peach and honey. There's an earthy, cereal base with a whisper of creamy vanilla and nuts.

  Palate

  White pepper opens things up, quickly giving way to orange marmalade, peach and nectarine. The texture turns creamy at first, then crisp with malt, vanilla and grain, with a faint salted liquorice note tucked underneath.

  Finish

  Savoury and lightly spiced, with notes of warm flatbread, black pepper and a touch of rosemary that lingers.

  Eight farms, one island, one whisky. Islay Barley 2012 brings together grain from across the west and centre of Islay in a single unpeated malt, letting eight years give the grain's own character room to unfold.

  Expert description

  Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2012 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 8 years and bottled at 50%.

  The barley comes from eight different farms across the west and centre of Islay, combined into a single unpeated release. The whisky is matured in a combination of American whiskey casks and French wine casks, together giving a full yet still fresh character.

  Distilled in 2012 and matured for eight years, it shows how Bruichladdich lets barley from several farms meet in the same bottle without losing its local, earthy identity.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh barley and apple juice, with a sweet vanilla note from the bourbon casks and a hint of grape from the wine casks.

  Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2013 Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280404

  Another vintage, same philosophy. Islay Barley 2013 continues Bruichladdich's work of combining grain from several Islay farms into one unpeated bottle, this time with a year more behind it than the 2012 release.

  Expert description

  Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2013 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 8 years and bottled at 50%.

  Like its 2012 predecessor, this release is built on barley from eight different farms across the west and centre of Islay. The whisky is matured in a combination of American whiskey casks and French wine casks.

  Distilled in 2013 and matured for eight years, it offers a slightly different balance than the 2012 release, shaped by that specific vintage's weather and harvest.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Sweet grain and ripe apples, with a light nutty note and a hint of grape from the wine casks.

  Palate

  Soft and malty with honey, citrus fruit and a gentle spiciness that builds slowly.

  Item no.: 22227865413-18747

  Before Port Charlotte had its own name, it was called Loch Indaal. This bottling from Blackadder is a raw, unfiltered trip back to Bruichladdich's early peated style, drawn straight from a single cask.

  Expert description

  Bruichladdich Loch Indaal 2007 from Blackadder is a peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 10 years and bottled at 63.3%.

  Loch Indaal is the name the peated Bruichladdich spirit carried before Port Charlotte became its own brand. The whisky was distilled in 2007 and bottled in August 2018 from a single hogshead, cask number 3413, by independent bottler Blackadder as part of their Raw Cask series.

  Only 244 bottles were drawn from this single cask, with no cold filtration and no added colouring, giving a raw and undiluted taste of the peat straight from the wood.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Raw peat smoke and sea salt, with a young, grainy sweetness and a touch of tar.

  Palate

  Powerful and direct with intense smoke, black pepper and an oily, full texture from the high cask strength.

  The Classic Laddie is where most people meet Bruichladdich for the first time. No peat, no age statement, just Scottish barley, distilled and matured on Islay from start to finish.

  Expert description

  The Classic Laddie Scottish Barley is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured in American oak casks and bottled at 50%.

  The whisky is the distillery's flagship without an age statement, blended from several vintages to keep a consistent, unpeated profile. The barley is Scottish, much of it grown on Islay itself, in line with Bruichladdich's terroir philosophy.

  Maturation in American oak gives a light sweetness and a full body, without overpowering the bright, floral character that defines the house's unpeated style.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Barley, honey and fresh citrus, with a light maritime undertone and a touch of freshly cut grass.

  Palate

  Soft and creamy with vanilla, green apples and a gentle spiciness that keeps the palate fresh throughout.

  Bruichladdich Waves 2nd Edition Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22227865406-12

  There's something honest about a whisky named after the thing that shaped it. Out on the Rhinns of Islay, where the Atlantic constantly pounds the coast, the casks behind Waves have breathed sea air year after year. You can taste it.

  Expert description

  Bruichladdich Waves 2nd Edition is a lightly peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in bourbon and Madeira casks and bottled at 46%.

  Waves is part of Bruichladdich's multi-vintage series, originally composed by Jim McEwan during his time as master distiller. Bourbon casks lay the foundation with vanilla, malt and light grain, while a Madeira finish brings in sweetness with raisins, dark fruit and a touch of wine spice.

  This 2nd Edition dropped the original age statement and arrived in new packaging, but the philosophy stayed the same: show Islay's softer, cleaner side. The peat sits as a quiet undertone rather than a statement, and the result is a dram that grows more maritime the longer it sits in the glass.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh and salty with a soft peat smoke. Soaked raisins and vanilla, a green, grassy note and a sweet fruit edge from the Madeira.

  Palate

  Malty and round with a good handful of spice. Another wave of vanilla, sweet liquorice in the background and a light minty freshness, polished by oak.

  Finish

  Medium length, with salted malt, mild peat and a lightly bitter oak note that lingers alongside sea spray.

  Bruichladdich itself calls its multi-vintage bottlings "innovative cuvées", a term borrowed from the wine world. It fits, since Waves isn't tied to one vintage or one cask, but assembled across several so Jim McEwan could chase exactly the balance he was after.

  Octomore 13.3 Edition Bruichladdich 129.3 ppm Islay Barley Single Islay Whisky 61.1%

  Item no.: 22227865415555-855547

  Octomore Farm sits three kilometres from the distillery, and in 13.3 you can taste that distance. Edition 13.3 is the most rounded in its series, giving fruit just as much room as the smoke.

  Expert description

  Octomore 13.3 is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 5 years and bottled at 61.1%.

  The barley is 100% Concerto, grown on Octomore Farm itself and peated to 129.3 ppm. The whisky is matured for five years in a combination of first-fill European oak casks from Rivesaltes in France and Ribera del Duero in Spain, along with first-fill American whiskey casks.

  The combination of terroir-driven barley and three different cask types gives 13.3 a more rounded fruitiness than many other Octomore editions, without compromising on the peat.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Lemon and orange peel meet a subdued, ash-free smoke, with malted grain notes beneath the fruit.

  Palate

  Nutty nougat and fruit play alongside a lightly salted, bonfire-like smoke reminiscent of an evening by the coast.

  Finish

  Medium length with smoky salt, seaweed and a lingering, dry sweetness.

  Octomore 15.2 Edition Bruichladdich 108.2 ppm Single Islay Malt Whisky 57,9%

  Item no.: 2233-9963

  Wine, bourbon and cognac meet in the same cask trio in Octomore 15.2, a combination that gives extreme peat a sweet and elegant counterpart.

  Expert description

  Octomore 15.2 is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 5 years and bottled at 57.9%.

  The whisky is peated to 108.2 ppm and distilled from 100% Scottish barley. It's matured in a combination of wine, bourbon and first-fill cognac casks, a trifecta that adds layers of sweetness and complexity to the powerful smoke.

  The result is a single malt where intense peat is joined by cognac spice and winey fruit, rather than standing alone.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Sweet grain and spiced cognac, with a deep peat base and a touch of red fruit from the wine casks.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and spiced with waves of peat, caramel and winey sweetness, tied together by a warm cognac tone.

  Finish

  Long and smoky with a lingering spiced sweetness.

  Octomore 15.3 Edition Bruichladdich 307.2 ppm Super Heavily Peated Single Malt Whisky 61,3%

  Item no.: 2233-9964

  307.2 ppm is a number rarely seen anywhere else in the whisky world. Octomore 15.3 draws its grain from a field three kilometres from the distillery and dials the peat up to an entirely new level.

  Expert description

  Octomore 15.3 is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 5 years and bottled at 61.3%.

  The whisky unites powerful smoke levels with a harvest from the unique Octomore Farm, located just three kilometres from the distillery. With a smoke content of 307.2 ppm, it's complex, robust and full of character. The barley brings a sweetness of grain and burnt sugar, while the casks add notes of creamy vanilla and citrus fruit.

  It's matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks and first-fill Oloroso hogsheads, a cask pairing that adds depth without muting the extreme smoke.

  Tasting notes

  Burnt sugar, creamy vanilla and citrus, sitting atop a deep, earthy peat.

  Palate

  Symphonic and intense with sweet grain, creamy vanilla and waves of peat smoke that build as it goes.

  Finish

  Long and monumental, with lingering smoke and a sweet, sherried finish.

  Octomore Ten 2009/2020 Dialogos 10 years old Bruichladdich 208 ppm Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 54,3%

  Item no.: 22227865413-11-10

  Dialogos means conversation, and that's exactly what happens in this glass. Ten years of maturation talks down Octomore's raw strength, without ever falling silent.

  Expert description

  Octomore Ten Dialogos is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 10 years and bottled at 54.3%.

  The whisky is peated to 208 ppm and matured in a combination of first-fill ex-bourbon casks and fresh Virgin Oak casks. Although it carries one of the highest ppm counts in its series, it comes across as more restrained in smoke, precisely because ten years of maturation has rounded off the edges.

  Distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2020, Dialogos shows how time can transform an extremely peated whisky without extinguishing its character.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Salt, honey and tropical fruit such as pineapple and mango, with the peat smoke sitting as a deep, earthy base.

  Palate

  Rich and layered with sweet fruit and honey, giving way to a warm, lingering peat smoke and a touch of oak.

  Finish

  Long and smoky with a soft sweetness and a dry, ashy finish.

  Item no.: 22227865414-18901

  Ten years is enough to tame a wild whisky without putting out the fire. Port Charlotte 10 Year Old shows how refined a heavily peated whisky can become once time is allowed to work on the smoke.

  Expert description

  Port Charlotte 10 Year Old Heavily Peated is a peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured in bourbon and wine casks and bottled at 50%.

  Marked peat smoke, sea salt and citrus, with a light floral note and vanilla and toasted malt beneath the smoke.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and balanced with a distinct but elegant smoke, accompanied by sweet malt, caramel, spice and a mineral edge.

  Port Charlotte 2013 PMC:01 Bruichladdich 9 years old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 54.5%

  Item no.: 059763-615-235

  Islay speaks with many voices, but Port Charlotte's is deep, briny and thick with tar. PMC:01 is the sixth release in the distillery's Cask Exploration series, where the peated Islay character meets the fruit-laden oak of Pomerol wine casks for the very first time.

  Expert description

  Port Charlotte 2013 PMC:01 is a peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, first matured in bourbon casks and later finished in French Pomerol wine casks, bottled at 54.5%.

  Port Charlotte is Bruichladdich distillery's peated single malt, distilled on the same Victorian equipment on Islay's west coast as the distillery's unpeated core range, but taken to a far higher phenol level. PMC:01 is made from Concerto barley peated to 40 ppm and is the sixth bottling in the Cask Exploration series, where the distillery studies what different cask types do to the same peated spirit.

  The whisky was distilled in 2013 and spent its first four years in first-fill bourbon casks, before being moved in 2017 into Pomerol wine casks from Bordeaux's Right Bank, one of the world's most sought-after red wine regions. It's the first time Port Charlotte spirit has been allowed to mature in this cask type, and the result is a whisky where salty Islay peat meets dark berries and tanned leather from the wine casks.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Blackberry, plum and tanned leather sit on top of a solid base of peat smoke and brine. A tart edge of red berries, a touch of rose and a whisper of honey soften the maritime weight.

  Palate

  Dry smoke and salt water arrive first, quickly followed by dark berries, clove and a deep, leathery tannin from the wine casks. The fruit is sweet without tipping into sugariness, and the peat keeps everything grounded with an earthy weight.

  Finish

  Long and smoky, with a finish of dried plums, spiced clove and a whisper of ash that lingers well after the last sip.

  PC6 is one of the early Port Charlotte releases, from a time when the series was still finding its shape. Distilled in 2001 and bottled in 2007, it shows the young, raw power that set the direction for the house's peated style.

  Expert description

  Port Charlotte PC6 is a peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 6 years and bottled at 61.6%.

  PC6 is one of the early numbered Port Charlotte releases, peated to 40 ppm and distilled in 2001, shortly after Bruichladdich was revived as a distillery. The whisky was bottled in 2007 after 6 years of maturation, at a high natural cask strength of 61.6%.

  The young age combined with the high strength gives a raw, intense peat character, setting it apart from later, more rounded Port Charlotte releases with longer maturation.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Direct peat smoke and sea salt, with a young, grainy sweetness and a hint of citrus beneath the smoke.

  Palate

  Powerful and raw with intense peat, black pepper and an oily, full texture carried by the high strength.
