The Bruichladdich 1988 30 Rare Cask Series is an exquisite single malt whisky, aged for 30 years, and presented at an ABV of 46.2%. Distilled in 1988 and bottled in 2019, this remarkable creation hails from the distinguished Bruichladdich Distillery in Islay. Known as "The Untouchable," this whisky has matured gracefully in refill bourbon and rare refill squat hogsheads, remaining untouched for three decades. With only 6000 bottles available, this release is a treasure for any whisky connoisseur.
This whisky exhibits a velvety texture, unfolding layers of complex flavors and aromas. On the nose, it is immensely floral, with notes of sun-dried hay, coconut oil, buttercups, and vanilla fudge. These initial impressions are complemented by hints of porridge with golden syrup, sweet citrus, sherbet, apricot, and caramel. The palate reveals a harmonious blend of coconut, pink grapefruit, granola, malt, and toast, evolving to include oak spice, pipe tobacco, and fudge. The finish is long and enduring, showcasing marine elements with a sea breeze, wood spice, fudge, and toasted oak.
As part of Bruichladdich's Rare Cask Series, this release underscores the distillery's commitment to preserving some of the oldest and rarest casks. It is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water in a tasting glass to fully appreciate its depth and complexity.
