Bruichladdich HB’90 / 27 Aged 27 Years Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Travel Retail Exclusive
Discover the extraordinary Bruichladdich HB’90 / 27, a remarkable limited edition Islay single malt Scotch whisky that celebrates patience, craftsmanship, and innovation. Distilled in 1990 by an earlier generation of Bruichladdich stillmen, this rare unpeated whisky spent an incredible 27 years maturing entirely on the Isle of Islay. Initially aged for 17 years in carefully selected American oak ex-Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey casks, it was then transferred into exceptional French oak Bordeaux wine casks for a further decade. This bold decision transformed an already exceptional whisky into a beautifully layered and sophisticated expression. With only 12,000 individually numbered bottles released exclusively for Global Travel Retail, this is a true collector’s whisky and a memorable addition to any premium whisky collection.
Exceptional Maturation and Craftsmanship
The defining character of Bruichladdich HB’90 / 27 comes from its unique maturation journey. The extended finish in prestigious Bordeaux French oak casks adds remarkable structure, elegance, and complexity while preserving the signature floral and fruity character of Bruichladdich’s unpeated spirit. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 49.5% ABV, this whisky is non-chill filtered and contains no added colouring, allowing every natural flavour and texture developed over nearly three decades to shine through. Every sip reflects Bruichladdich’s commitment to traditional whisky making and uncompromising quality.
Rich and Elegant Tasting Experience
The whisky displays a rich orange blossom honey colour that immediately hints at its depth. On the nose, vibrant aromas of cherry, strawberry, raisins, dates, and apricot syrup blend effortlessly with candied orange peel and fresh lemon balm. As the bouquet develops, layers of chocolate, toasted oak, roasted hazelnuts, and delicate coastal salinity emerge, creating exceptional balance.
On the palate, Bruichladdich HB’90 / 27 is surprisingly elegant despite its age and strength. Sweet fruit flavours remain at the forefront while the French oak contributes refined tannins and impressive structure. Notes of roasted coffee, amaretto, apricot, toasted malt bread, and gentle spice gradually unfold, delivering remarkable complexity without overwhelming the palate. The finish is exceptionally long, revealing chocolate, amaretto, soft clove spice, delicate rose petals, and beautifully integrated toasted oak that lingers gracefully.
