Eldvatten Svenska Bruichladdich 13 Years Old Single Malt Cat Label Cask #2342 2012 58,1% Vol. 0,7l

The Eldvatten Svenska Bruichladdich 13 Years Old Cask #2342 is a limited-edition Islay single malt Scotch whiskey from the 5th Anniversary Cat Series by the independent Swedish bottler Svenska Eldvatten. The whisky was distilled in 2012 at Bruichladdich on Islay and bottled in May 2026 after 13 years of aging. It was aged in a fresh bourbon barrel, designated as cask #2342. The single cask was bottled at a robust 58.1% ABV, its natural cask strength. The whisky is unchill-filtered and uncolored, ensuring that its original cask character remains as unaltered as possible.

Cask #2342 is particularly interesting as a counterpart to the also-released Bruichladdich Cask #2341, which is 56.9%. Despite comparable specifications, #2342 presents itself as more intense and powerful due to its higher cask strength. The combination of maritime freshness, citrus notes, grain sweetness, and a creamy texture—typical of Bruichladdich—remains intact, yet gains additional structure and spice thanks to the 58.1% ABV. Only 147 bottles were bottled from this single cask, giving this edition distinct collector’s appeal. The distinctive Cat Label, the limited number of bottles, and the combination of 13 years of aging, a fresh bourbon barrel, and cask strength make this 0.7-liter bottling a special interpretation of the unpeated Bruichladdich style.
