Bruichladdich 2003 Little Brown Dog 22 Year Bourbon Barrel Single Islay Malt Whisky 53.6% This exclusive Bruichladdich 22 Year Old Single Cask is one of those rare bottlings that speaks directly to the heart of any Islay enthusiast. Distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2025 – after more than two decades in a bourbon cask – this whisky stands as a shining example of Bruichladdich’s elegant, unpeated style combined with depth, maturity, and a texture found only in the very best private casks. Only 140 bottles were drawn from this single cask, and each bottle carries a very special label: an original oil painting by the Danish artist Bjarne Helverskov Andersen. The motif recalls the dunes at Kintra on Islay – and at the same time serves as a personal tribute to the artist, who was the grandfather of the friend who sold the cask. A beautiful and meaningful detail that ties whisky and history together. The cask was part of a parcel of four purchased by LBD, but this was without doubt the jewel of the collection. The flavour, depth, and silky texture stood out immediately – a Bruichladdich with a character rarely seen even among private casks. It is a whisky you fall in love with at the first sip, and the entire parcel was bought solely to secure this specific cask. The fact that only 140 bottles exist worldwide naturally makes it highly sought after – yet it remains a bottling that offers impressive value considering its age, distillery, and exclusivity. To preserve the unique texture, the whisky was bottled through a 20‑micron filter instead of the finer filters normally used. This provides an experience as close to “cask‑to‑glass” as possible. You may therefore notice a small amount of natural cask sediment, which only enhances the whisky’s authenticity and raw character. Expect a deep, mature, and creamy Bruichladdich with: warm bourbon notes vanilla and light caramel ripe fruits and citrus oil maritime hints from Islay’s coast a long, rich, and oily finish A whisky created for both contemplation and sharing – and a rare opportunity to taste a Bruichladdich that stands entirely on its own in expression and quality.
