This 30 year old Bruichladdich was produced from spirit laid down in 1989, 1990, and 1991, all of which was filled into Refill Hogshead casks. Half of the whisky was reracked into fresh Bourbon casks roughly 10 years ago. The two components were married for 3 months in Refill ex-Bourbon casks before bottling at 43%.
Producer Description
"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."

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: 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: 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: The spirit’s all-Islay maturation significantly influences the finish, with a vibrant tang of sea salt balanced with warm oak, while soft vanilla and sweet coconut lingers.

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

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."

We don't see a lot of 30 year old Bruichladdich anymore, and this one, relatively speaking, is pretty reasonably priced, and with good reviews. Bottled at 53.3% the cask type isn't specified, but it is probably ex-Bourbon. 89.33pts Whiskybase
