Numbered bottle 72/180 from cask no.843, it was distilled on the 23rd March 1979 and bottled in August 1996, making it 17 years old at that time. The capsule appears intact, the labelling in good order and the malt reaching a level just above the shoulders.* Notes Built in 1881, the Bruichladdich distillery was under the ownership of Ivergordon Distillers during 1979 and mothballed in 1993.Founded in 1995 Blackadder's bottlings offer a 'no non-sense' approach, being bottled at cask strength, un-chilfiltered, un-coloured and distributed in clear glass bottles for the transparency of the buyer.
