Bruichladdich 1990 Sherry Cask Edition is a 25-year-old single malt whisky distilled in 1990 and released exclusively for the travel retail market. This exquisite whisky has undergone a unique and intriguing maturation journey: the first batch was aged for 17 years in former bourbon barrels, followed by 5 years in French wine casks, and finished with 4 years in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The second batch matured for 18 years in refill sherry butts and then finished in Oloroso sherry casks for an additional 7 years. Subsequently, the two batches were reunited, resulting in a complex and richly captivating whisky.
This whisky offers an extraordinary leather mouthfeel and is highly recommended for its sublime and intriguing flavor profile. It stands as a testament to Bruichladdich's commitment to innovation and excellence, and is the product of a long-standing collaboration with renowned winemaker Jan Pettersen. With only 6,000 bottles produced, this limited edition whisky is a true gem for whisky enthusiasts seeking a unique and unforgettable tasting experience.
The nose is rich and outstandingly balanced, featuring traces of French wine barrels, plum compote, mixed fruit basket, slightly phosphorous sherry, caramel, and milk chocolate. On the palate, it is heavy with sherry but balanced with plenty of fruits, rum cherry, raisin, creamy milk chocolate, piquant spiced oak, and vivid acids of wine and vinegar. The finish is long, sweet, fruity, and spicy, making this whisky a delightful journey from start to finish.
