Description

The Bruichladdich The Ternary Project is the first in a series of revitalised small-batch experiments from Bruichladdich Distillery, paying homage to a time in the distillery's past when they distilled many malt types with varying levels of peat. This limited release combines three of Bruichladdich's most recognised single malts: 30% unpeated Bruichladdich, 40% heavily peated Port Charlotte, and 30% super heavily peated Octomore (vintage 2008). These spirits were matured in a complex array of casks, including ex-bourbon hogsheads, French red wine casks, Pedro Ximenez sherry butts from Fernando de Castilla, first-fill bourbon barrels, first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, first-fill virgin oak, Sauternes, French Mourvedres, Austrian Sweet Wines, and ex-Amarone casks. Bottled in 2021 at 52.1% ABV, this non-chill filtered whisky was released as a distillery exclusive with an outturn of 4000 bottles.

Nose
Rich and intense with peat smoke, toasted bread, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and leather, alongside sweet notes of strawberries, red berry jam, vanilla, citrus, and dried fruits. Hints of mahogany, tobacco, and old hessian also appear.
Palate
Full-bodied and oily, offering a balance of sweet, savoury, and bitter peat. Flavours of dried fruits, oak tannins, currant, blackberry, and briny notes are present, with creamy texture, violet, floral tones, stewed plums, blueberries, dark chocolate, and tart cranberries. Coastal and mineral-rich with hints of eucalyptus and salt.
Finish
Medium to long, warming, and smoky, with notes of ashy peat, dark chocolate, and dried fruits. It evolves with hints of grapes, nuts, and a lingering coastal, tannic, and slightly green character.
