Bruichladdich 19 Year Old 2005 Whisky Sponge Ed. 96 Single 1st Fill Bourbon Cask (2024) 70cl

This is Whisky Sponge Edition No. 96, a 19 year old single cask 1st Fill 2005 Bruichladdich, bottled at natural cask strength.

This bottling is paired with Whisky Sponge Edition No. 97: a single refill Isle of Jura 1994 hogshead, also bottled at natural cask strength. Both casks were matured their entire lives in their respective distilleries on their islands of origin. As Decadent Drinks approached the final edition of the Whisky Sponge series, they wanted to focus on and celebrate the distilleries and profiles they really love. And there aren't many places that Decadent Drinks hold as dear to their hearts as Islay and Jura.

Decadent Drinks deliberately sought out two single casks from these two beautiful islands, both unpeated and both fully matured on the islands.

Decadent Drinks are quite pleased with the results and find them to be part of a fitting final edition of Sponges.

This Bruichladdich is extremely creamy, maritime and bright. Full of peppery and waxy power and texture, it shows the robustness of unpeated Islay whisky. And it is a true, evocative and beautiful coastal and mineral single malt from the island.

*Lovers of wine barrels and fantastic decantings please look away now.*
