Product details
Bruichladdich Black Art Edition 11.1 is drawn from pre-renaissance casks safeguarded on Islay since before 2001, quietly resting for 24 years before being revealed. Conceived as an enigmatic creation, it embodies the interplay of nature, time, and human artistry. Crafted in complete secrecy by Head Creator Adam Hannett, the recipe is known only to him, with the barley source and cask composition deliberately undisclosed. Each edition is a singular expression—unrepeatable and finite—capturing the mystery of what unfolds within oak under the cover of darkness. Black Art 11.1 stands as a bold testament to faith, imagination, and the enduring mastery of tradition.
The sensory journey begins with a rich tawny hue, inviting aromas of dried fruits, leather, and sea breeze, accented by notes of poached pear, rose hip syrup, black cherry, and mango. Layers of cedar, mellow oak, butterscotch, praline, and honey unfurl alongside subtle cinnamon and floral hints. On the palate, the complexity deepens with dates, raisins, and barley sugar evolving into butterscotch, coconut, and citrus brightness. Sweet apple and pear mingle with toasted oak, warming spice, dark plums, and marzipan, offering remarkable depth with every sip. The finish lingers gracefully with oak, dried fruits, and festive nuances of sultana, fig, and honey, leaving a beautifully rounded impression.
