Distillery description

Bruichladdich is a Scottish distillery on the island of Islay, founded in 1881 by the Harvey brothers, who owned the Dundashill and Yoker grain distilleries in Glasgow. Like all late Victorian distilleries, its fate was inextricably linked to the production of blended whisky from the beginning. As a single malt, its whisky was virtually non-existent. It was closed in 1995 due to redundancy and remained dormant until 2001, when it was acquired by Murray McDavid, led by Mark Reynier and Simon Coughlin. The team was joined by the legendary Jim McEwan, who left Bowmore to become Master Distiller and help revive the distillery. McEwan played a key role in experimenting with different types of casks, local barley, and levels of malt smoking. This led to the launch of Port Charlotte peat whisky and the revolutionary Octomore, as well as The Botanist gin, which uses Islay herbs. In 2012, the distillery was bought by Remy Cointreau, which still owns it today.

Bottle description

Bruichladdich 1970 is a single malt whisky, released on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of this famous distillery. The whisky was distilled in 1970 and bottled in 2006 after 35 years of aging in bourbon casks, with an additional finish in Pinot Gris casks from the renowned Zind Humbrecht winery.

The bottle and box are decorated with the signature of the legendary Jim McEwan, who played a crucial role in the restoration and reopening of the Bruichladdich distillery in 2001 and held the position of master distiller until 2015. His signature appears only on truly exceptional bottlings that are still prized among whisky connoisseurs and collectors today.

Nose: Tropical fruit, citrus, vanilla, and soft oak, with hints of flowers and fruit from the vinous finish.

Taste: Rich, juicy, and smooth, with notes of honey, fruit, vanilla, and soft wood, accentuated by sweetness and mineral notes from the Pinot Gris finish.

Finish: Long, harmonious, with lingering notes of fruit, wood, and sweetness.

The auctioned bottle and its certificate are numbered 2140/2502 and come in a luxurious wooden box, making it an exclusive collector's item.

Size: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: wooden box, scratch on the top of the case
