I understand from this topic that the latter won't be produced anymore: so sad... Is it because of Rémy Cointreau taking over the distillery?
Not because of the take over I think. It's just Jim McEwan's constant drive to try new things. Bruichladdich is not that big and they already carry many expressions, so new ones have to replace old ones to keep things workable. In this case An Turas Mor has to make place for The Peat Project.
It's a bit like Pentax in a way. A singular mind to drive product innovations that are not fully in line with mainstream evolution, and just not big enough to keep a vast product portfolio alive.
