Bruichladdich MICRO-PROVENANCE Single Cask #0715 Islay Single Malt 57,5% Vol. 0,7l

The Bruichladdich MICRO-PROVENANCE Single Cask #0715 Islay Single Malt (57.5% ABV) exemplifies the experimental, origin-focused philosophy behind the Micro-Provenance series from the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay. This series specifically explores how individual factors—such as barley variety, region of cultivation, climate, humidity, distillation methods, cask type, maturation period, and storage location—shape the character of a single malt. For this strictly limited bottling, the 'Odyssey' barley variety was used, and the spirit was distilled on May 13, 2014. The whisky then spent its entire eleven-year maturation period in a first-fill bourbon cask—a cask that previously held bourbon whiskey. Cask #0715 was stored in Warehouse WHSC4 at position 28E, meaning that the specific location of maturation also becomes an integral part of the 'provenance' concept.

On March 30, 2026, the Bruichladdich Single Cask #0715 was bottled at a robust 57.5% ABV. Only 246 bottles were produced from this single cask, making it an exceptionally small and unique edition. Bruichladdich eschews both chill-filtration and the addition of coloring, ensuring that the whisky’s color and texture are derived solely from the spirit, the cask, and the maturation process. The first-fill bourbon cask complements the characteristic Islay single malt with notes of vanilla, citrus, grain, and delicate oak spice, all while allowing the distillery’s distinct character to shine through. In its 0.7-litre bottle, the Bruichladdich Micro-Provenance 11 Years Old combines rigorous research into provenance, single-cask maturation, and natural, unadulterated bottling—offering a highly authentic insight into the unique character of an individual Bruichladdich cask.
