Solid neighbourhood-bakery energy. Trustworthy and warm.
Summary
Bruichladdich, the Islay-based Scotch whisky distillery, has unveiled the world's first quadruple-distilled 18-year-old single malt, X4+18 Edition 01, in partnership with design agency Thirst. The release kicks off a four-part series and features a radical visual identity that challenges conventional Scotch whisky design norms, blending abstract geometry and color with the distillery's heritage. The project continues Bruichladdich's reputation for unconventional approaches, following their earlier iconic aqua bottle design.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledBruichladdich has never been a distillery that plays things safe, but its latest release takes that reputation into striking new territory.
The project marks the beginning of a four-part series and, unsurprisingly for the team behind the original aqua bottle, it's designed to challenge almost every visual convention in the category.
The whisky itself is unconventional enough, with quadruple distillation pushing far beyond traditional Scotch production methods.
