Bruichladdich 2nd Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old

Colour

Rich copper-gold with a deep amber core and a faint mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent and fragrant, the nose opens with apricot, raisin and fig, lifted by honeyed vanilla. Delicate orange blossom and almond paste mingle with peach, toffee and a whisper of cinnamon. A touch of salted coastal air threads through the sweetness, hinting at refined oak—an enticing, nectar-rich bouquet from ex-sweet wine casks.

Palate

Silky and opulent, the palate opens with dried fig, raisin, and orange zest, wrapped in honeyed vanilla and toffee. Rich red-fruit depth from the ex-sweet wine casks mingles with soft spice and a touch of almond, while subtle maritime notes lift the sweetness. Velvet mouthfeel; long, warm finish with cocoa and oak persistence.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of candied apricot, fig and raisin, braided with honeyed vanilla and a whisper of caramel. Velvet sweetness lingers as subtle spice unfurls, with a light coastal salt and oak echo.
