Bruichladdich Thirty Aged Years
43% ALC./VOL.
The Bruichladdich Thirty has spent the entirety of its maturation life in handpicked, exceptionally rare ex-Bourbon casks. A limited and refined single malt Scotch whisky, The Bruichladdich Thirty is bottled at 43% bringing the sweetness of toasted oak, honey and soft vanilla to the fore.
Delicate yet complex, a hint of dark chocolate complements the spirit’s elegant floral profile while the gentle influence of sea air lingers – a subtle nod to the whisky’s all Islay maturation.

RE/DEFINE THIRTY
Bruichladdich Thirty is a legacy; the story of Bruichladdich distillery's resurrection distilled, in a landmark single malt.
"This 30 year old single malt not only celebrates the resurrection of our Victorian distillery but pays homage to the men who laid down this spirit three decades ago.
The future of Bruichladdich was uncertain in the early 1990s. From the brink of permanent closure to now the largest private employer on Islay, Bruichladdich Distillery and the local community has slowly rebuilt and flourished over the past three decades – all while this spirit has quietly matured.”

30 years of history
The Bruichladdich Thirty is the story of the Hebridean distillery’s resurrection. The Bruichladdich story almost ended in the late 20th century when the doors to the distillery were forced to close, with the site mothballed and all but two workers laid off in 1994.
Over the next seven years, the two remaining members of staff safeguarded the casks which continued to mature in the depths of the warehouses, before the distillery was restored in 2001.

WE BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT’S IN YOUR WHISKY.

No Hidden Measures
Despite the small number of raw ingredients in Scotch whisky, only a handful of producers will share their origins. Being transparent about what’s in your glass is still a surprisingly radical approach, but you have the right to know what’s in your bottle. We argue that flavour is derived from the whisky making process and ALL of the ingredients. The age of the spirit and the type of casks used are not the only signifiers of quality. A whisky like this should be considered in its entirety.

Key to Ingredients
[ No. OF CASKS ]
The number of casks will help you estimate how much of that spirit type is in your overall recipe. You should note that some types of casks have a stronger influence than others. For instance, first fill ex-wine casks impart a stronger flavour to our spirit, than first fill ex-bourbon casks. Virgin oak casks are particularly powerful.
[ DISTILLATION YEAR ]
This refers to the year the spirit was distilled and filled into casks. Within this section, there are some years that are displayed and some that are redacted. We are only allowed to display the year relating to the youngest component part; meaning the spirit that has spent the least time maturing in their respective casks. The other years have to be hidden due to EU law. While this is frustrating, you can use what’s there to calculate the age of the youngest part, as we also tell you when your spirit was bottled – top right. For example, if the youngest spirit was distilled in 2012, and the batch was bottled in 2019, all of your whisky is at least 6 years old.
[ BARLEY ORIGIN ]
Simply, where or how the barley was grown.
[ CASK TYPE ]
In order, this describes the country of origin, the type of alcohol it previously held, the size of the cask and how many times it has been filled by Bruichladdich.
