Bruichladdich 1993 Sassicaia French Oak 14 Year Old / The Italian Collection
Like its island neighbour Bunnahabhain distillery, Bruichladdich has traditionally been an un-peated single malt, mostly owing to its requirements by the blenders who owned it. The last of these was Whyte and Mackay, who eventually shut it down in 1995, deeming it surplus to requirements. They sold the distillery to Murray McDavid in 2001, who launched the peated Port Charlotte and heavily-peated Octomore single malts in 2006 and 2008. A recommissioned Lomond still also now produces the popular Botanist gin there.
A 14 year old release as part of their six part 'Italian Collection'.
Matured in bourbon casks and finished in Sassicaia French Oak.
