Part of Bruichladdich's acclaimed Micro-Provenance Series, this limited single cask release explores the influence of individual variables—including barley variety, cask type and maturation—on the distillery's unpeated Islay spirit. Each bottling in the series offers a unique snapshot of Bruichladdich's commitment to provenance and transparency.
Distilled on 19 March 2012 using Publican barley, this expression matured for 11 years in a first-fill virgin oak cask (No.0917) before being bottled at its natural cask strength of 64.1% ABV on 16 May 2023. Virgin oak brings a distinctive layer of vanilla, spice and toasted oak to Bruichladdich's elegant, fruit-driven spirit, creating a whisky of remarkable intensity and individuality.
Drawn from a single cask, the release yielded just 270 individually numbered bottles, making it one of the rarer Micro-Provenance bottlings. Presented at natural colour and without chill filtration, it offers whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to experience Bruichladdich's experimental approach to cask maturation in its purest form.

Bruichladdich
Founded 1881
Since Murray McDavid saved the distillery in 2000, with an asking price of £6.5 million, Bruichladdich has gone from strength to strength after a difficult initial period. Now under the ownership of Remy Cointreau, it is one of Islay’s most recognisable whiskies and brands.
