Hello Fellow Scotch Lovers –

Last week’s email featured an extremely rare opportunity to acquire one of 250 bottles available worldwide, of 40 year old whisky, for $5,400. I was so excited when two subscribers took advantage of that opportunity.

This weeks email is an opportunity to be the first kid on your block to own one of the most exciting new whiskies to come out this year: The return of Bruichladdie “The Laddie” Ten.

It was an intensely emotional day, in the late winter of 2000/2001, when the then new owners of the distillery broke the padlock on the Bruichladdich gates and took charge of the charismatic but much neglected Victorian distillery on the far west Atlantic coast of Islay. Since then, it’s been a roller-coaster ride for the new owners, and many said they wouldn’t make it. But they persevered, and fought. And they’re still here.

This is without a doubt the most important whisky release in the history of Bruichladdich, and its very much a landmark for the new distillery management team, headed by Master Distiller Jim McEwan. This is the first Bruichladdich to have been produced completely, from distillation through bottling, by the new management team.

This Islay dram is classic Bruichladdich, 85% American oak, 15% Sherry cask, non-peated, and bottled at 46% with no chill filtration and never any coloring added. The whisky is absolutely brilliant, reminiscent of the original Bruichladdich 15 YO…and it becomes available in the US market beginning next month.

Fortunately for us all our man Nicky The Neck asked his connections to call their friends who know a guy…and so we are able to offer you insider access to Bruichladdich The Laddie Ten before almost anyone else in the United States.

The price for “first on the block to have a bottle of The Laddie” bragging rights: $54.95/ bottle.

I hope you will take advantage of this exceptional opportunity, and do it it fast…because once your neighbor has it, your trend-setter bragging rights are gone!

Until next Wednesday….

“I was able to taste the new Bruichladdich 10 year old at WhiskyFest. As you may know, this is the first 10 year old whisky being sold that was produced by the current owners. It’s a new dawn for Bruichladdich, and I am happy to say that this whisky is very good. Most of it is from bourbon barrels, but there’s some sherry casks thrown in too. I just hope they can keep this profile consistant going forward. If they do, it could become the go-to entry level non-smoky Island whisky (competing with Highland Park 12 YO and Bunnahabhain 12 YO for that honor). To me, it tastes like a 12 year old whisky.”
