Bruichladdich 2011 11 Year Old Jim McEwan Signature Collection 5.1

Introducing a standout addition to the world of premium whiskies, the Bruichladdich 2011 11 Year Old Jim McEwan Signature Collection 5.1. This exclusive Islay single malt was distilled in 2011 and matured in a first fill bourbon cask. With only 238 bottles available, this release honors master distiller Jim McEwan's impeccable craftsmanship.

Bottled in July 2022 at a natural cask strength of 59%, this whisky is offered without chill filtration or added color. The entire maturation process took place in cask #2477, originating from an unknown American distillery. The 11 years of aging combined with the first fill bourbon cask imparts a refined balance of barley sweetness, mellow oak, and a distinct maritime Islay character.

On the nose, this whisky reveals a lovely combination of primrose, myrtle, lily, marigold, and hints of mint. The palate is balanced and restrained, featuring barley, oak, and a subtle bourbon spiciness. The finish is salty, briny, and medicinal, capturing the essence of Islay beautifully. This release is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of unique, small-batch whisky with authentic character.
