Just over the wire today: This new “American Classic 16″ bottling is forecast to run until 2011. It replaces the Bruichladdich Fifteen, of which previously there was an original 15-year-old and then a 15-year-old second edition. Apparently those will be allowed to sell through the channel and will be replaced by this new expression: “American Classic 16.”
