Bruichladdich 1985 DNA 25 Year Old

This 1985 (MCMLXXXV) vintage Bruichladdich was the third edition in the DNA series, distilled in October 1985 and bottled as a 25 year old.

Like its island neighbour Bunnahabhain distillery, Bruichladdich has traditionally been an un-peated single malt, mostly owing to its requirements by the blenders who owned it. The last of these was Whyte & Mackay, who eventually shut it down in 1995, deeming it surplus to requirements. They sold the distillery to Murray McDavid in 2001, who launched the peated Port Charlotte and heavily-peated Octomore single malts in 2006 and 2008. A recommissioned Lomond still also now produces the popular Botanist gin there.

One of 1665 bottles.
