All the news about the Feis Ile 2017

All the special bottlings for the Feis Ile 2017 have been announced. We already talked about the Lagavulin and the Caol Ila (click here for more info), lets take a look at what the other Islay distilleries have presented.

Bruichladdich offers three different bottlings:

• Port Charlotte Transparency (56,4%, 1000 bottles): 12 casks of 7 different typologies contribute to the production of this malt. Each cask stayed on Islay for the whole aging process, this whisky is not cold filtered. It’s not cask strength either, a small amount of Islay water was added.
• Two different Bruichladdich Valinches: 2008 Bere Barley and 2006 Organic Barley (the name stems from the variety of barley used in the production of this spirit).

Laphroaig, traditionally, present its Cairdeas 2017: it is a cask strength graded bottling aged in smaller casks then usual, denominated Quarter Casks. The Cairdeas 2017 has a gradation of 57,2%.
