Bruichladdich The Ternary Project Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Ternary Project marks the first in a series of revitalised small-batch experiments, taken from the inner workings of the Head Distiller's sample room. Meaning to consist or comprise of three parts, this ‘Ternary’ comprises the three most recognised single malts from Bruichladdich.

Taken from the inner workings of our Head Distiller’s sample room, these non-conformist spirits are revealed for curiosity’s sake. This Ternary Project pays homage to a time in our distillery’s past when we refuted the practice of distilling one homogenised malt type.

Combining our three most recognised single malts, this is three vintages of three spirit types, matured in three classes of casks; ex-sherry, ex-bourbon and ex-wine.

The complex cask recipes of each component and the subsequent marriage together before bottling contribute to a deeply complex style, with the characters of the three components - Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore - all evident and providing harmony and balance.

The colour of antique mahogany, you can experience a simultaneous combination of peat smoke, dried figs and toasted oak on the nose, which carries through to the palate before opening up to citrus, floral, fruity and marine notes. The finish is where the floral notes and stoned fruit come through brightly before fading until only the peat smoke and hints of the dried fruit remain. All three spirits show their signature fruity and floral style alongside the peat ash and beach bonfire notes the Octomore and Port Charlotte components bring.
