Hunter Laing The Kinship Bruichladdich 29 Year Old 1991

Bruichladdich 29 Year Old 1991 from The Kinship is an independent bottling of Islay single malt by Hunter Laing & Co., the Glasgow family firm of whisky blenders and bottlers. The Kinship is Hunter Laing's series of rare, well-aged single malts; the 2021 collection, the fifth release, was created to commemorate the virtual Fèis Ìle of 2021 and is drawn entirely from Islay distilleries, with this bottle as Edition No. 2. Distilled in 1991 and aged 29 years, it was carefully selected by Scott Laing and bottled at cask strength of 45.4% ABV, limited to 270 numbered 700ml bottles.

Nose: Soft fruits and honey with a hint of iodine and sea salt.

Palate: Wonderfully balanced, the flavours acting as one as they move from sweet to fruity.

Finish: Slightly dry, with a salty sea edge.

Serve: Neat, with a few drops of water if preferred.
