Bruichladdich Golder Still

For all those scotch fans that have been anxiously awaiting the Victoria arrival of Bruichladdich's Golder Still, Hillside Liquor Store received 6 bottles on April 2.

The Golder Still is a twenty-four year old whisky, aged in rare squat hogshead Bourbon barrels that were used by American distillers for a brief period in the 1980's before they switched to a more common taller type of barrel that was easier to stack, store and transport. The extra whisky wood contact that the Golder Still received gives it a stronger barley sugar flavour and a bright golden colour.

The Golder Still is packaged at cask strength of 51% and only 4866 numbered bottles were produced. Hillside Liquor Store has #3391, #3397, #3398 and #3450 of the 4866.
