Bruichladdich Whisky Range Updated

[John]

You probably have already noticed, anyway Bruichladdich has overhauled its range of multi-vintage single malts. Their range which consists of three whiskies, aims to cover the range of styles produced by the Islay distillery by combining several ages of single malt from various cask types.

The motivation for the updated range, explains MD Mark Reynier, is that "they had evolved haphazardly. We have brought them together under one umbrella, new bottlings, each with its own distinct identity and flavour profile."?

The three new whiskies created by Jim McEwan at the distillery are Rocks, Waves and Peat.

Rocks has minimal peat and French oak influence, is intended as an aperitif.

Waves has a degree of peat, but is intended to exhibit "finesse and fruit"?. Despite its name.

Peat apparently has "average peatiness"?, and is described as "plenty of peat but without the medicine"?. Peat replaces Bruichladdich's 3D range.

Hi John

I knew about the Waves and Rocks but didnt know that Peat was the replacement for Bruichladdichs 3D range.

It looks to me like Laddie has been probing the market with all their various bottlings to see what sells and have come up with these 3 malts, makes good business sense.

Morrisons have Rocks for £18.99 a bottle at the moment - extraordinary value!
