2011 11 Year Old Jim McEwan Signature Collection 5.1 First Fill Bourbon Cask #2477

About

The Bruichladdich 2011 11 Year Old Jim McEwan Signature Collection 5.1 celebrates the rich heritage of Islay and the expertise of master distiller Jim McEwan. Distilled in July 2011 and matured in a first-fill bourbon cask, this single malt offers an authentic Islay experience, without the typical smoke, focusing instead on barley, oak, and the ocean's influence. Bottled in July 2022, it showcases the region's traditional methods, with no chill filtration and no added color. On the nose, it opens beautifully with floral notes such as primrose, myrtle, lily, and marigold, mingling with mint. The palate is balanced and restrained, with mellow oak and barley sugars seducing the taste buds. The maritime Islay character accompanies you throughout, fresh and clean, invoking imagery of the Atlantic Ocean. This whisky is for enthusiasts seeking the pure essence of Islay.
