Bruichladdich Black Art 9 1 BP P21 - 44.1 %

The Bruichladdich Black Art 9.1 is far more than just a single malt. This mystical masterpiece, distilled in 1992 and bottled after 29 years of maturation, embodies the perfect marriage between tradition and experimentation. Each bottle, from a limited series of only 12,000 individually numbered examples, tells a secret story of the master distiller, Adam Hannett. He zealously guards the mysteries of the casks used. Fully matured on the Isle of Islay, this whisky is an ode to Bruichladdich's heritage, marking a return to pure, non-standardized craftsmanship, far from modern conventions. The Black Art 9.1 is also the oldest whisky available to date from the Bruichladdich distillery.

TASTING NOTES:

NOSE: An enigmatic and captivating first nose where ripe dark fruits – prune, fig, and candied cherry – meet pastry aromas of spiced cake and crème brûlée. Notes of dark chocolate, blond tobacco, and heather honey blend with more complex hints of aged leather and toasted oak. A slight saline note, signature of the Isle of Islay, completes this rich sensory tableau.

PALATE: The attack is rich, velvety, and textured, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and intensity. Flavors of dried fruits like date and candied apricot intertwine with notes of bourbon vanilla, toffee, and woody spices. The spices gradually become more complex: cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper emerge gently. In the background, aromas of roasted coffee and candied orange zest bring captivating depth.

FINISH: Long, persistent, and intriguing, the finish leaves a lasting impression of bitter cocoa, stewed dark fruits, and fine woody notes. A touch of salinity and slight smokiness echoes. An elegant and mysterious conclusion that invites another tasting to uncover its secrets.
