Episode 362: Bruichladdich Black Art (8.1) 26yr Scotch

This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan crack open a true unicorn pour: Bruichladdich Black Art 8.1, a mysterious and majestic 26-year-old unpeated Islay single malt. With no cask details disclosed, this one’s all about the magic of taste and time.

Before diving in, the boys shout out some incredible listeners, talk whiskey auctions, and laugh about kids’ birthday parties—because what pairs better with rare Scotch than inflatable slides and cupcakes? They also dig into the storied history of Bruichladdich, a distillery that’s never afraid to push the envelope.

On Whiskey World News, Bryan shares the scoop on three upcoming high-age whiskey releases that are bound to turn heads. And on “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, Bryan poses a dream-worthy question: If you could pick any distillery and drink the oldest barrel in their warehouse, which would you choose?

Rare Scotch. Big dreams. Great company. It's another classic episode.
