Eldvatten Svenska Bruichladdich 13 Years Old Single Malt Cat Label Cask #2341 2012 56,9% Vol. 0,7l

The Eldvatten Svenska Bruichladdich 13 Years Old Cask #2341 is a limited-edition Islay single malt Scotch whiskey from the 5th Anniversary Cat Series by the Swedish independent bottler Svenska Eldvatten. The distillate comes from the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay and was aged for a total of 13 years. A particularly defining feature of this single-cask release is that it was aged entirely in a fresh bourbon barrel, designated as cask #2341. After more than a decade of cask aging, the whisky was bottled at a robust 56.9% ABV, straight from the cask. No chill filtration or added coloring was used, ensuring that the whisky’s color and character remain as authentic as possible.

The Bruichladdich 2012/2026 from Svenska Eldvatten thus combines several characteristics that are particularly sought after by connoisseurs of independent Islay bottlings: single cask, cask strength, 13 years of aging, a fresh bourbon barrel, and natural color. Within Islay, Bruichladdich is known for a comparatively fresh, maritime, and fruit-forward distillery character, which is complemented in this bottling by the bourbon cask maturation. The distinctive Cat Label marks Svenska Eldvatten’s anniversary series and lends the bottle additional collector’s appeal. A second 13-year-old Bruichladdich release, Cask #2342, was released at the same time, while #2341 showcases its own cask characteristics at 56.9%.
