BRUICHLADDICH 2004 ISLAY BARLEY 50% 700ML KENTRAW FARM; ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

Bruichladdich 2004 Islay Barley / Kentraw Farm? 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 & 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. The first release of the Islay Barley collection from Bruichladdich (after the Feis Ile bottling in 2010). The barley grown for this vintage was from Kentraw Farm Foreland. One of 6,000 bottles.
