Bruichladdich Black Art 05.1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Whiskey: Bruichladdich Black Art 05.1 Single Malt Scotch

This highly anticipated 5th release of the mystic single malt is just as enigmatic as the last. Bruichladdich’s Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, has formulated an entirely new secret recipe that is more traditional, with less wine influence.

Size: 750mL

Proof: 98.4 (49.2% ABV)

Origin: Scotland

Distillery: Bruichladdich Distillery

The fifth release in Bruichladdich's Black Art series, and their first with Adam Hannett at the helm following Jim McEwan's retirement. As ever, don't expect to find out the Black Art recipe from the Bruichladdich chaps - they're keeping their lips sealed tight.
