Bruichladdich 1989 21 Year Old Black Art

About this product

The greatest Scotches are encapsulated Time , speaking not only for the long years of ageing but also the patient precision required at every step of the distillation process . Jim McEwan , who began his whisky journey working for the Bowmore Distillery at age 15 , understands this as few others do . Under his guidance Bruichladdich has come to stand for the many unique now lost - to - progress distilleries that were unable to withstand the relentless march of large corporations that closed them one after another , something that Jim says , ' Just broke my heart .' His determination and non - conformist approach has earned his whiskies iconic status and him international renown . The Black Art series playfully touch upon his hands - on traditional methods by aligning his approach with alchemy , for surely nothing this good could be created by man alone . If Jim McEwan did not actually sell his soul to make this dram , you can be certain that he put it wholeheartedly into every aspect of its creation .
