This video has the first U.S.A. review of Bruichladdich's eagerly anticipated 18-year-old single malt, marking their first age statement release since from production after resuming operations in 2001. Join me as I take you on a unique journey from the initial unboxing to a reflective next-day analysis, offering a comprehensive look at this landmark whisky.
Highlights include an in-depth look at the whisky's elegant new presentation, from its glass cap to the eco-friendly paper exterior, a shift from the traditional tin cans. I'll compare the flavors and nuances of this release with Bruichladdich's Black Art 10.1, offering a side-by-side analysis that whisky enthusiasts won't want to miss.
Additionally, we'll showcase Bruichladdich's own release video, giving you a glimpse into the distillery's vision for this exceptional whisky. Follow my journey from the thrilling first taste to a more nuanced appreciation three hours later, culminating in a candid discussion on the whisky's value, market hype, and what I'd happily pay for it at a bar.
Whether you're a long-time fan of Bruichladdich or new to the world of aged single malts, this review offers a rare insight into one of the most anticipated whisky releases.
