`Rhinns` by Bruichladdich 200-litre Bourbon Barrel 2025
Filled at an impressively high 68.7% ABV, this cask has been laid down in a first fill bourbon barrel sourced directly from Bardstown Bourbon Company, one of the most technologically advanced and acclaimed distilleries in Kentucky. Known for its rich and complex high-rye bourbons, Bardstown barrels are prized for their ability to impart sweet oak, vanilla bean, coconut husk, and subtle toasted spice — a perfect complement to Islay peat.
As the whisky develops, we expect this cask to evolve beautifully, layering charred oak and butterscotch over sweet orchard fruits and iodine smoke, with time coaxing out hints of sea salt, lemon peel, warm clove, and cigar ash. With its robust ABV, the spirit is set to age gracefully, offering great flexibility for extended maturation or an earlier bottling with intense flavour concentration.
This 200-litre first fill Bouborn barrel was filled in March 2025. Included in the price is three years professional storage and insurance at Braeside Bond.
Bruichladdich
Built in 1881, Bruichladdich passed from owner to owner over the next 80 years, eventually closing their on-site maltings in the early 1960s. Demand for this distinctly fruity Islay malt was so great during the 1970s that additional stills were added to allow for an increase in capacity. Whyte and Mackay acquired Bruichladdich in 1993, but shut down production in the mid-1990s, with Murray McDavid taking over operations in the year 2000. The 15 years thereafter saw a golden era for the distillery as many superb older whiskies were assessed by the new owners and bottled as superb limited edition single casks. The core range was reimagined and two new labels were added that allowed for more heavily peated expressions - Octomore and Port Charlotte.
Bruichladdich run two wash stills and two spirit stills, producing around 1.5 millions litres a year and a number of local Lochs provide the water required for the mash, cooling and bottling. Notably, Bruichladdich maintain and use an array of vintage equipment, including a large wooden mash tun and an adjustment Lomond still, which is used in the production of the distillery's Botanist gin.
