The Bruichladdich Black Art 1st Edition is a 19-year-old single malt whisky distilled in 1989 and bottled in 2009. It is the inaugural release in the Black Art series, overseen by then-head distiller Jim McEwan. The maturation process involves a undisclosed blend of American oak and French wine casks.
Released in a limited edition of 6,000 bottles, the whisky features non-chill filtering and no added coloring. It has a higher-than-average alcohol content at 51.1% ABV, making it a cask-strength bottling.
This whisky follows the earlier Blacker Still series and is notable for its undisclosed blend of casks, a characteristic maintained by the distillery to add complexity and intrigue. It is primarily targeted at whisky collectors and investors.
