Bruichladdich Black Art 1989 / Malt Whisky / 70cl
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before...
Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven.
The Black Art of Distiller Jim McEwan
Even we don't know how Jim has conjured up this sublime dram - he won't tell us. Very fine, incredibly elegant, decadently hued, perplexingly complex, mischeviously prepared and sensuously provocative. Beguiling, other worldly... Inspired.
Alchemy, the black art, the eternal search for rejuvenation and immortality, gave us whisky.
Geber the Arab is said to be the first distiller of al-iksir, the water of live, in Persia around 790AD.
The spirits Eau de vie, Aqua Vitae, Vodka, Aquavit, Uisqu Beatha all share that same original meaning. Geber understood that precious metals were hidden in alloys and ores. By the rearrangement of a base metal's qualities, via elixer, it could be transmutated into Gold. Elixer also existed as a dry, red powder made from Philosophers' Stone. If it could turn poor metal into gold, it could give eternal life.
The two triangles of the hexagram represent the reconciliation of the opposites of fire and water.
