The 11th incarnation of Bruichladdich's Black Art series is a 24 year old bottled at 44.1%.
Producer Description
"An enigmatic alchemy which relies on nature, craftsmanship and the gentle passing of time. What happens inside each cask, under the darkness of the warehouse remains a mystery. Black Art 11 continues that elusive mastery. Only Head Distiller Adam Hannett knows what has gone into crafting the precious 24-year-old single malt. The barley and cask type remain a mystery, with the final recipe undisclosed."

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Dried fruits, leather and a hint of citrus immediately open on the nose, followed by a fresh sea breeze. Sweet fruit and floral notes come forward, with poached pear, black cherry, and sweet mango. The complexity of the single malt is apparent as the aromas continue to open, with cedar and mellow oak complemented with butterscotch, praline, honey, and a hint of cinnamon.
Palate: Dates, raisins, barley sugar, leather and oak open on the palate, followed by butterscotch sweetness, praline and hints of coconut and fresh citrus. Sweet apple and pear are married with toasted oak, warming wood spice, dark plums and marzipan, with layers of depth opening with each sip.
Finish: Oak and dried fruit close out this dram, with holiday cake notes of figs, marzipan, and lingering honey adding to the beautifully rounded finish.

Under the watchful eye of the previous owners, Bruichladdich put a lot of spirit into very interesting (and ridiculously high end) wine casks. It only makes sense that we're starting to see a we smattering of these 'way out there' single casks hitting the market. But where once the shelves sagged under the weight of Bruichladdich one-and-dones, now we have to wait patiently for bottlers like R&BT to give us a peek at unique single cask Laddies. Great age and great drinking strength on this ex-wine cask matured Islay malt.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 52.2% abv. 87.25pts Whiskybase

A chance to experiment and push the boundaries of possibility, only Adam knows what has gone into crafting the precious 29 year old single malt.
