The Bruichladdich Black Art 08.1 is the 8th edition in the prestigious series of single malt Scotch whiskies from the renowned Islay island distillery. This unpeated cuvée is enveloped in a mysterious aura, with its precise composition known only to the master distiller. Distilled in 1994 and aged for 26 years, it stands as the last vintage before the distillery's closure and subsequent revival in 2001.
This edition distinguishes itself from its predecessors by focusing on the fundamental spirit and the enhancement offered by the casks. Lighter than previous iterations, it was crafted to explore an idea rather than conform to a standard. Matured on Islay in a selection of casks with the exact composition a closely guarded secret by Head Distiller Adam Hannett, the Bruichladdich Black Art 08.1 is a testament to the brand’s commitment to complexity and innovation.
Each bottle is individually numbered, non-chill filtered, and naturally colored, bottled at a refined 45.1% ABV. The Black Art Series has captivated whisky enthusiasts globally for over a decade, due in large part to its contrast with Bruichladdich's typical transparency regarding barley types, aging processes, and casks. Instead, the series thrives on the allure of secrecy.
This eighth edition continues to intrigue with its enigmatic character, revealing its dark secrets only to those who seek to understand its high art. Aromas of lime zest, maple syrup, rose, pipe tobacco, and geraniums give way to flavors of maple syrup, dried apricot, coconut, vanilla, and oak. The finish is a delicate dance of sultanas, dried fruits, milk chocolate, hazelnut, sweet caramel, and lemon nougat cake, rounded off by a balanced sweet and smoky finish.
