<\/p>\n

The Classic Laddie Sherry Cask Edition<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Classic Laddie Sherry Cask Edition is a brand new take on Bruichladdich\u2019s signature Classic Laddie spirit. Still in its iconic aqua bottle and showcasing the brand\u2019s citrus and floral house style, the GTR edition has further matured in Oloroso sherry casks from Fernando de Castilla, Jerez, Spain. The additional sherry cask maturation adds another dimension to the renowned single malt whisky, with every drop distilled, matured and bottled exclusively on Islay.<\/p>\n

Bottled at 50% ABV with an RRSP of \u20ac70, light fruit notes of apple and apricot open on the nose with the sherry cask influence bringing nutty aromas and layers of spice. Dried fruits, dates, and malt sugar coat the palate, with the Oloroso sherry maturation adding depth and richness to the finish.<\/p>\n

Aligning with Bruichladdich\u2019s sustainability strategy to reduce waste and CO2 impact, The Classic Laddie Sherry Cask Edition incorporates new sustainable packaging. With an average recycled glass content of 60%, this new optimised bottle is 32% lighter than its predecessor. Total packaging CO2 emissions have been reduced by 65%. Other key elements include a polypropylene closure and cork made from bio-based sources, and organic ink coating.<\/p>\n

The Bruichladdich Twenty One<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bruichladdich 21 Aged Years is the latest expression to launch within the brand\u2019s new Luxury Redefined permanent high age statement whisky range.<\/p>\n

Conceived, distilled, matured, and bottled only on Islay, the expressions in this collection are the liquid embodiment of the distillery\u2019s pioneering past and steadfast commitment to the future \u2013 always with the aim of creating the most thought-provoking spirits.<\/p>\n

When Bruichladdich Distillery reopened in 2001 the team set out to reconnect land and dram, and the 21 Year Old single malt whisky is this vision realised. Matured solely on Islay for over two decades, with each barley varietal, individual farmer, and cask type fully traceable, The Bruichladdich Twenty One is possibly the highest provenance single malt whisky ever created.<\/p>\n

Challenging traditional perceptions of modern luxury, this unpeated prestige bottling features an industry-first bespoke, sustainable outer wrap. The eco-friendly outer packaging is made from fully<\/p>\n

recyclable paper pulp and perfectly moulded to the shape of the proprietary glass bottle. The lightweight outer packaging is produced using 100% green energy, demonstrating that premium single malt Scotch whisky can be both sustainable and aesthetically beautiful.<\/p>\n

Bottled at 50% ABV, The Bruichladdich Twenty One (RRSP \u20ac250) has been matured on Islay for over two decades in a combination of 80% bourbon casks and 20% sherry casks. Made using 100% Scottish barley, the high-age statement single malt whisky has matured in a combination of hand selected bourbon and sherry casks. Earthy dried fruit and layers of spice immediately open on the nose, with chocolate, almond, sweet vanilla and a delicate hint of gorse flower on the palate.<\/p>\n

A compelling Changi-first collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n

These two pioneering travel retail exclusive expressions made their worldwide channel debut in Singapore in May, in line with the Changi 1st ethos of offering exclusive launches and concept pop-ups ahead of other markets. The global reveal is being supported by an impactful Bruichladdich Tasting Bar pop-up, created in partnership with Lotte Duty Free Singapore.<\/p>\n

The eye-catching 52.5 sq m immersive activation experience is located in a prime position in T4 departures, en route to the gates. It sports The Classic Laddie\u2019s signature shade of bright aqua \u2013 accented with pops of orange to reference the new Sherry Cask Edition \u2013 for maximum visual impact.<\/p>\n

Specialist brand ambassadors will invite travellers to sample the single malt Scotch whiskies through complimentary tastings using an interactive play-table. Offering a best in class consumer offering, the experience incorporates a digital tasting mat into the traditional sampling ritual, bringing the Bruichladdich story to life.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Incorporating Bruichladdich\u2019s brand new \u2018Not Your Classic\u2019 campaign and visuals, experiential merchandising displays highlight the story of the whiskies. Key touch points include a traffic-stopping jumbo bottle lightbox and a levitating bottle centrepiece, nodding to Bruichladdich\u2019s new light-weight packaging and eco-friendly credentials. Aligning with the brand\u2019s commitment to \u2018use less and use better\u2019, bespoke POSM will be on display to engage and educate consumers, with travellers able to join the movement to reduce unnecessary packaging and waste.<\/p>\n
