Bruichladdich's Micro-Provenance Series investigates the granular elements shaping whisky character—from grain selection through maturation conditions. This expression, distilled in 2011 from Appaloosa barley, spent 13 years maturing in a single ex-Pauillac cask, developing layered dark fruit complexity and warming spice notes. Bottled at natural strength with no chill-filtration or colour adjustment, it preserves the full sensory profile imparted by its specific cask provenance and extended maturation.
