Bruichladdich Black Art 1994 Unpeated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review
After 26 glorious years in cask, this unpeated Islay single malt hits the glass with intense tropical fruit character. Take some time to soak up its aromas; you may notice that they're intoxicating before a drop of alcohol has even been sipped. Despite its lengthy maturation period, there's no hint of oak overpowering, and an abundance of energy and fruit character remain on the palate. This special single malt dazzles with unrestrained complexity and serves as the perfect bottle for special occasions or a special someone.
