Bruichladdich 1990 22 Years Bourbon/Château Latour French Oak Cask No. 001 Valinch Prometheus Limited Edition Bottling Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Strength 53.3% Vol. - one of only 400 bottles of an exquisite Bruichladdich Islay Single Malt!
A rare vintage 1990 22 year old Bruichladdich Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky from a Bourbon cask and enhanced in Château Latour French oak cask with the cask no. 001 from the special Bruichladdich Valinch series selected by Jim McEwan. The exquisite Bruichladdich Prometheus Islay single malt was bottled in honour of the Olympic games to celebrate the Titan who stole the heavenly fire from Mount Olympus and gave it to mankind, making the progress of civilisation possible. This theft is commemorated today by the Olympic flame, where a fire burns throughout the duration of the Olympic games.
The exclusive Bruichladdich Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky, which is only available at the distillery visitor centre, was bottled by hand in the year 2012 without the addition of colourants and chill-filtration in cask strength at 53.3% vol. in a limited edition of only 400 individually hand-numbered bottles on site.
A valinch, possibly from a Spanish term, is the name applied to a large, copper pipette used to take cask samples from whisky barrels. The view is if you have made the effort to get to Islay then you deserve something just a little extra special. Valinchs are by definition only ever at cask strength, from a single barrel, and selected by Jim McEwan for individuality. Each Valinch released has it s own label and title, usually to commemorate a specific event or person.
A rare bottling of a Bruichladdich Islay single malt, which impressively shows in its taste the special maturation in premium Château Latour French oak cask with a complex aroma and the influence of the noble red-wine from Bordeaux.
A terrific Bruichladdich Islay single malt scotch whisky, which shows Jim McEwan s cask art in a particularly expressive way and a special highlight for connoisseurs and whisky-collectors of fine old scotch whiskies.
