Bruichladdich Rare Cask Series 1988 / 30 Year Aged 750mL

Bruichladdich Rare Cask spends 30 years in its original refill bourbon barrels and squat hogsheads, with no recasking during maturation.

Key details

• Origin: Islay, Scotland
• Style: unpeated single malt
• Age: 30 years
• ABV: 46.2%
• Unchill-filtered, no added colour

Flavor profile

Refill wood is the focus here: a measured oak influence allows the long-matured malt to remain central.

Pairing & serving

Sip neat and allow time in the glass. Add water sparingly and pair with plain shortbread or roasted almonds.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
