About this bottle
This bottling is part of a set of three "Still" releases, alongside Blacker Still and Golder Still. It was distilled in 1984 and initially matured in first-fill bourbon casks. Subsequently, it underwent a finishing period in French Tronçais oak that had previously contained Château Lafleur, a highly esteemed red Bordeaux from Pomerol. Production was limited to 4,080 bottles, and it is presented at 50.4% ABV.

A highlight from a recent Bruichladdich tasting. Similar to many older Bruichladdich expressions influenced by wine, it features well-structured tannins that complement the fruitier notes.
Incredibly good
