Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection – Bruichladdich 17 Years Old – Distilled December 1976 / Bottled July 1994 – 70cl – 52.1% A rare vintage Islay single malt from Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection, Scotland’s oldest independent bottler. This release comes from the Bruichladdich Distillery, distilled in December 1976 and bottled in July 1994 after 17 years of maturation in oak casks, at natural cask strength (52.1% ABV). Bruichladdich from the 1970s is particularly prized among collectors and connoisseurs for its elegant, lightly peated maritime profile, with notes of sea breeze, citrus, and honeyed malt. This bottling from Cadenhead’s captures the distillery’s character from its pre-closure era — pure, unadulterated, and full of coastal charm.
