Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Warm and inviting, a bright fruity note welcomes you. The fragrant toasted oak brings chocolate praline, cedar, leather and subtle hints of clove and nutmeg, before moving to fruit notes of sweet apricot jam, ripe melon, dark cherries and blackcurrants. There is a light touch of citrus with lemon zest and gooseberries dipped in honey, with delicate floral notes of geranium and honeysuckle balanced with a hint of iodine and leather.
Palate: Orange barley sugars, ginger nut biscuits and lemon meringue pie are followed by sweet apricot jam and marzipan. The toasted oak brings smooth chocolate and vanilla notes, beautifully complemented with syrupy fruit, raisins, plum and melon. Over time, iodine and a hint of coconut come through, with delicate oak spices of warming ginger and cinnamon. A velvety texture, the depth and balance of this single malt glides across the palate.
Finish: Smooth fudge bring a softness to the finish, while ripe soft fruits, subtle tobacco and a hint of ginger linger.

Description
This is the 10th release of the all mystifying ‘Black Art’ series with Head Distiller, Adam Hannett once again displaying a deft touch to create a masterpiece like any other Black Art before it.
Distilled in 1993 and aged for 29 years, little is published by the tight-lipped folks at Bruichladdich regarding the recipe of this whisky, except that the youngest batch was distilled in 1993. Decades have passed since this unpeated spirit ran from the stills in Bruichladdich’s Victorian stillhouse. The stillmen who were present in 1993 would have no concept of its destiny; that it would eventually become the tenth iteration of the notorious Bruichladdich Black Art.
