Bruichladdich 3D3 Third Edition "Norrie Campbell" 46% vol. 0,7l

3D3 "Third Edition - The Norrie Campbell Tribute Bottling"
Norrie Campbell was the last peat cutter on the island of Islay, he supplied all the distilleries of the island with peat.
This heavily peated malt with 40ppm peat content was dedicated to him.

Until the early 1960s, all Islay distilleries produced exceptionally peated malt whiskeys.
These whiskeys were almost invariably used for blends and almost never bottled as single malt.
At the beginning of the sixties there was a new fashion trend and many distilleries - including Bruichladdich - used considerably less peated barley.
To commemorate the origins of peaty malts, Jim McEwan created this extraordinary and so far totally unique whiskey - 3D3 "Third Edition - The Norrie Campbell Tribute Bottling"!
The term "3D" denotes three different Bruichladdich whiskeys from three different decades with three different peat strengths.

After the big successes of the 3D "The Peat Proposal" and the "Mòine Mhòr" Jim McEwan created this, even more peaty "3D3" with 40ppm peat content!
The aroma reveals the peat, but it is very well hidden.
If you nip on it, it begins almost sweetly with some fruity notes - and then it suddenly explodes like a bomb and the peat comes with an incredible force to the fore!
This malt contains Port Charlotte and Octomore.
