Whisky Tasting: Bruichladdich, Tuesday November 27th

Join us for another eagerly anticipated tasting event sampling some special drams from these progressive, Hebridean distillers:

“We believe in variety, in chance, in progress, in irrationality, in a stubborn refusal to accept prescribed “process”; we believe in following the distilling Muse wherever it might take us. Above all we believe the world needs an antidote to homogeneity and blandness. Since our first spirit ran from our unique, Victorian stills on 11.09.01 we have been on an adventure – sometimes a white-knuckle ride, but a journey that has seldom been dull, often a challenge, throughout a joy and a thrill .”

It’s been a while folks, since this Islay favourite was brought to Stourbridge but from what we hear about Craig Johnstone’s whisky presentations it’s well worth the wait…. Bring it on!

(Starting at 7p.m. in the N&P cellars)

The evening’s drams include: Bruichladdich Islay Dunlossit Barley 2006 Bruichladdich Laddie 10 year old Bruichladdich Laddie Sherry 22 year old Bruichladdich Black Art III 22 year old Port Charlotte Peat Project and a Secret Laddie Special!

Bruichladdich became the biggest whisky story of the year when Rémy-Cointreau paid £58 million for the Islay distillery in July. However, the new owners are keen to stick to the template that made the independent ‘Progressive Hebridean Distillers’ so successful.

The Whisky Exchange shop at Vinopolis is delighted to welcome Craig Johnstone from Bruichladdich to take us through the distillery’s myriad styles, from Organic spirit and whisky made entirely from Local Barley, through the recently-released 16yo and 22yo Laddie Classic expressions and Jim McEwan’s devilish Black Art III to the uncompromisingly bold Port Charlotte, now fully mature. As is traditional, Craig will also have a secret little surprise with him for the lucky attendees.

The tasting will take place on Tuesday 20th November at 7:30pm at The Whisky Exchange Shop at Vinopolis in London.

£30 per ticket, on sale now.

As ever, tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis and are limited to two per customer.
