Bruichladdich Distillery has unveiled the highly anticipated Black Art Edition 11, marking the eleventh installment in the enigmatic and exclusive annual series. Since its inception in 2012, Black Art has captivated whisky enthusiasts worldwide with its mysterious charm. A departure from Bruichladdich's usual commitment to transparency, where every detail of each single malt is disclosed, Black Art is shrouded in complete secrecy.

Crafted by only the Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, Black Art 11 retains its unique and unrepeatable nature. The recipe, cask composition, and origins are veiled in mystery, revealing only the vintage, age, and ABV (44.2% alc./vol).

Adam Hannett, Head Distiller at Bruichladdich Distillery, expresses, “Each year I welcome the creation of Black Art with open arms. As a whisky maker, it is liberating to have complete creative freedom. It’s a chance to journey deep into our Islay warehouses and experiment, question, and push the realms of possibility."

While Bruichladdich is dedicated to transparency, the Black Art series symbolizes a moment of unwavering trust. It embodies faith in the whisky maker's creativity and a commitment to the time-honored craft of delivering unforgettable flavor experiences.
Crafted from pre-renaissance casks from Bruichladdich Distillery, the 1994 vintage 24-year-old single malt has matured patiently on Islay for nearly three decades.

On the nose, Black Art Edition 11 presents dried fruits, leather, and a subtle hint of citrus, followed by a delicate bouquet of rose hip syrup, poached pear, and sweet mango. The palate unfolds with dried fruits, barley sugar, leather, and toasted oak, leading to a velvety butterscotch sweetness. Nutty praline and hints of coconut provide balance, and the finish is beautifully rounded, reminiscent of a rich Christmas cake with notes of sultanas, marzipan, and lingering honey.

Our session was led by Jason Tan, Prestige Brand Ambassador from Rémy Cointreau Malaysia.

Black Art Edition 11 is now available for purchase in Malaysia and globally through online platforms such as bruichladdich.com and at select specialist whisky retailers. For more information, visit bruichladdich.com.
