Released in 2024 and dressed in a sleek dark bottle and textured outer case, it is one of the oldest Bruichladdich whiskies available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery drop of Re\/Define Thirty was matured in bourbon casks, but in two different ways. Half the whisky spent its full three decades in refill hogsheads, which let the delicate, floral Bruichladdich spirit develop slowly. The other half was moved into fresh bourbon casks after twenty years, adding vanilla, coconut and toasted oak. The two parts were then vatted together and married for three months in refill bourbon barrels before bottling at 43% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruichladdich is known for doing things its own way, and the packaging follows suit. The bottle is made from an average of 60% recycled glass, and the outer box is formed from paper pulp rather than plastic or foil. The result is a quietly striking bottle that puts the focus on the whisky inside: Islay single malt at its most mature, with floral, fruity and gently coastal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak, coconut, gorse flowers and Brazil nut, with geranium, rose, pear drops, candied lemon and a touch of cinnamon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted oak up front, then light fruit, honey and fudge, with a hint of leather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea salt balanced by warm oak, with lingering vanilla and coconut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bruichladdich Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Re\/Define Thirty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refill bourbon hogsheads and fresh bourbon casks, married in refill bourbon barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Islay, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour it neat into a nosing glass and let it open for a few minutes; the floral notes come first, followed by coconut and toasted oak.
