Tasting Notes

Nose

A beautifully fragrant profile, featuring ripe peach and honeysuckle at the forefront. Violet and lavender notes subtly emerge, creating a harmonious balance with the vanilla and creamed coconut imparted by toasted American oak. The palate is greeted with a lush medley of tropical fruits, including melon, peaches, apricots, and a burst of vibrant citrus. The oak's presence enriches the flavour with honey, caramel, vanilla custard, and a decadent layer of rich crème brûlée, weaving together a complex and delightful tasting experience.

Palate

A luxurious and viscous experience, where honey, butterscotch, and fresh fruits lavishly coat the palate. This is followed by comforting cereal notes reminiscent of sweet, syrup-soaked porridge, alongside barley sugar and the warmth of toasted oak. The flavour journey continues with vibrant tropical fruits and the nuanced addition of toasted oak, complemented by a delicate hint of leather. The inclusion of honeycomb contributes to the whisky's smooth and sweet character, crafting a rich and indulgent tasting experience.

Finish

The finish perfectly encapsulates the quintessential character of Bruichladdich single malt. The 18 Year Old showcases the classic minerality that Bruichladdich is celebrated for, achieving a perfect harmony with the warmth of oak, the succulence of stone fruits, and a subtle floral bouquet. This balance eloquently reflects the distillery's adeptness at blending the unique terroir of Islay with meticulous aging to produce a whisky of exceptional character and depth.
