This limited release of just 272 bottles represents the distillery's ongoing exploration of micro influences on Islay whisky, showcasing how specific variables create exceptional complexity in their unpeated single malt.\n\nPart of Bruichladdich's exploratory Micro-Provenance series, this expression demonstrates the Progressive Hebridean Distillers' commitment to terroir-driven whisky making. Distilled on September 23, 2010, and aged in warehouse WH512 D07 on Islay's western coast, this cask benefited from the island's maritime climate and the unique influence of a first-fill Ribera del Duero wine barrel, creating a distinctive marriage of Islay character and Spanish wine influence.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine influence, maritime salt air, vanilla oak, dried stone fruits, coastal herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich wine tannins, honeyed barley, sea spray minerality, dark chocolate, warm spices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long finish with lingering wine notes, oak spice, gentle peat smoke, and Islay's signature coastal character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIslay Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62.2%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBruichladdich Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIslay, Scotland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirst-Fill Ribera del Duero\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCask Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#2491\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBottle Count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e272 bottles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistilled\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeptember 23, 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBottled\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarch 27, 2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerious Whisky Collectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultra-limited single cask with provenance tracking and detailed specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIslay Enthusiasts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exploring Bruichladdich's unpeated style with unique wine barrel maturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask Strength Aficionados:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-proof bottling showcasing raw distillery character and barrel influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rare bottling perfect for milestone celebrations or meaningful gifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Bruichladdich Micro-Provenance Single Cask #2491 taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 14-year-old single cask offers a complex profile balancing Islay's maritime character with rich wine barrel influence.
