The 2021 batch of the 16-year-old Fettercairn is here! And here we have a delicious trio of casks in this unique maturation: first-fill Oloroso, refill Oloroso and rare Palo Cortado sherry butts. Paired with the Highland distillery’s unique distilling process of dousing their stills in cool water to increase condensation leading to a lighter spirit, we have something truly wonderful! Expect that tropical fruit forward character with the influence of those sherry casks bringing complexity and depth. Bottled at 46.4% abv as a limited annual release, we can’t wait to taste a bit of Summer in a dram!

Extremely Limited 29-Year-Old Single Malt: Bruichladdach’s Black Art 9.1 – Scotch Whisky News

A Singular Scotch Collectible from Renaissance Star
1992 Bruichladdich “Black Art – Edition 9.1” 29 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) ($599.99)

The rebirth of Islay’s renowned Bruichladdach distillery has been one of the most exciting developments of the past decade in the Scotch world, which makes this release that much more compelling. The oldest single malt ever sent to market by Bruichladdach, the Black Art – Edition 9.1 is an unparalleled glimpse into history and tradition, as it was produced and laid down before the distillery’s closure in 1994. Matured for 29 years in cask (only head distiller Adam Hannet knows what kind of cask), this extraordinary unpeated whisky is hands-down one of the most impressive collector’s items we’ve seen come through the door in recent years. Displaying opulent, layered aromatics and flavors carried by mesmerizing depth and viscosity that are second to none, it’s a Scotch experience unlike any other. We’ve taken in a painfully small allocation, so avid aficionados will want to move fast, as opportunities like this only come along once in a blue moon.

This Christmas, on behalf of everyone at the Isle of Harris Distillery, please accept our thanks for following our story and supporting our island enterprise. We have lots to look forward to in 2022, but for now the copper stills lie silent and the home fires are lit as we spend time with family and close friends.

Wishing you and yours a peaceful festive season and a very Happy Christmas.
