The 9th edition of Black Art is a 29 year old, distilled in 1992 and matured in a mysterious assortment of casks. 44.1%.
Producer Description
"Inspiration was taken from the groundwork done in creating the first editions of this series, where there was a relentless pursuit of layers of flavour. Here we are, probably another 10 years later, again managing those stocks and recasking and blending more than we’ve done previously,” said Adam Hannett, Head Distiller at Bruichladdich Distillery, and added: “But it’s that time in the casks that we’re working with now, because when the Black Art series started it was around 20 years old, now its almost 30 years old. So the evolution of that whisky by using those same stocks is really different."
700ml mlProducer Tasting Note
Character: The Black Art 09.1 seems to be inspired by the first editions, when the magical search for the maximum complexity of flavours began. This fruity whisky undoubtedly matured in the best casks of the distillery, where it was patiently observed over many years, tasted again and again and finally bottled at the zenith of its development.
Nose: Breathtaking. Tropical fruits, coconut, tobacco, spicy oak and flamed pine branches. With a little time, the whisky opens up seductive notes of mango, melon, sweet honey, orange zest, grilled pineapple and ripe strawberries, fresh from the field. The subsequent scent combination of coconut, ginger, buttery shortbread, vanilla pudding and a hint of tobacco promises a delightful drinking experience.
Taste: The viscous texture of this dram and its depth are out of this world! Wood, tobacco, brown sugar as well as chocolate and coconut form the perfect basis for extremely intense fruit flavours. With a little water, this unbelievable complexity comes into its own even more.
Finish: Incredibly long-lasting with seemingly endless notes that are reminiscent of apricot, mango, baked banana, sweet toasted oak, honey and vanilla.
