Bruichladdich Valinches
Bruichladdich Valinches (offizielle Liste):
Die "Bruichladdich-Valinchs" sind Sonderabfüllungen der Destillerie, die man nur selbst auf Islay im Bruichladdich-Shop abfüllen konnte. Im normalen Handel sind diese speziellen Flaschen nie erhältlich gewesen.
Speziell ist auch die Flasche selbst, den diese fasst immer nur 0,5 Liter anstelle der sonst üblichen 0,7 Liter. Dafür waren diese wohlfeil; der Flaschenpreis vor Ort bewegte sich im Regelfall zwischen 50 - 70 Pfund.
Ein Valinch ist übrigens eine Art Stechheber zur Entnahme von Proben aus Wein- oder Spirituosenfässer, von der sich dieser Name ableitete.
Seit dem Mai 2001 wurden etwa rund 50 offizielle Valinchabfüllungen auf den Markt gebracht, der letzte Valinch konnte im April 2012 abgeüllt werden. Daneben gibt es noch einige wenige besondere nicht offizielle Valinchabfüllungen, welche ebenfalls erwähnt werden sollten.
