Dramfool Bruichladdich 11yo Rivesaltes Cask #2

Dramfool’s 57th and its sister 58th release are a classic pairing of from Islay. While its sister release, in first fill bourbon, may be the classic of Islay, the 58th release fully matured in a first fill Rivesaltes Barrique must be a considered the modern classic style. Since the 2001 re-opening, high quality wine casks proved the corner stone of the new period of Bruichladdich and helped build its army of fans internationally.

It is with great excitement we release this fine example of the ‘new classic of Islay’. Distilled in 2010 and bottled at 11 years old, it is in its natural state with no added colour and cask strength of 63.1% we have a (very) limited outturn of just 149 bottles.

Not that we encourage over enjoyment of whisky, but sitting with such similar spirits and tasting them side by side certainly shows not just the difference cask choice makes, but the genius of the team behind Bruichladdich and the remarkable breadth of whiskies they have produced.
