Bruichladdich Black Art Edition 06.1, according to those behind it, is a whisky that's about as mysterious as previous releases in this series.
What we do know is that head distiller Adam Hannett has created an unpeated single malt drawn from casks which have been there aging since his early days in the warehouses, working at the time under now former master distiller, Jim McEwan.
Don't let that misguide you though - this is Hannett's creation now sitting on retail shelves!
Limited to 18,000 bottles, Black Art 6 is pegged at 26 years of age, bottled at 46.9% ABV and limited to 18,000 bottles globally.
"There may never be an understanding of how this whisky was created but tasting it and understanding why is more important," said Hannett in a prepared statement. "To compare and compartmentalise this exceptionally rare and unique dram is to miss the point of a whisky that is the essence of the distiller's instinct, passion and experience. If you must ask, you will never know."
Presentation: 70cl, 46.9%
