Contrasting whiskies created from same batch
Bruichladdich has discovered that one of its whiskies has been maturing in two different types of casks, creating two products.
The Scotch producer distilled the whisky ten years ago and left it to mature in sherry casks, Scotland Food and Drink reports.
However, recent tastings revealed that two variants had ultimately been produced.
One cask had contained a dark, sweet fortified wine, while the other was used for pale, dry wine.
And the consequent contrast in flavour has prompted Bruichladdich to release the vintage in two variants, with consumers being invited to compare them.
Managing director Mark Reynier said: “The result is an intriguing comparison: one DNA, one vintage, one warehouse – but two distinct and intriguing expressions of Bruichladdich single malt.”
Each whisky will be available as a limited edition of 6,000 bottles, at a cost of around £38 each.
Last month the company launched the second edition of its 18-year-old single malt.
