Five more expressions from Bruichladdich

As Islay distillery Bruichladdich approaches its 10th anniversary it has added three single malts to its core range: The Organic (from organically certified Scottish barley) matured in new American oak, and Port Charlotte, the standard peated version of Bruichladdich (40ppm) – both mixed vintages at 46%abv, RRP £35; plus Black Art, a 21YO vintage at 49.7%abv, RRP £86.

Two limited editions have also been released: 18,000 bottles of Octomore 3 (Jim Murray's 2011 Whisky Bible rates it the best single malt) with an increased level of peat (152ppn) and 59%abv; and 884 bottles of Bruichladdich DNA 1977, a 32YO American oak bottling at 47.4%abv and the last of the distillery's oldest casks

All Bruichladdich malts are non-chillfiltered and colouring-free, and presented in chic modern and distinctive packaging
