Bruichladdich Black Art 10.1 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 29 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany edges.

Nose

Enigmatic and dark, the nose unfolds in layers: cocoa and sun-dried fig weave with raisin and treacle, while tobacco and leather lend vintage depth. Sherry sweetness glows at the core, cushioned by orange zest, spice, and soft oak. A whisper of maritime brine and espresso threads through, hinting at Islay evenings and a mystery that lingers long after the first inhale.

Palate

Silky, opulent on the palate, with dark chocolate and pruned fruit—fig and date—woven through a sherried, toasted core. Rich cacao, espresso and orange zest mingle with polished oak, while leather and tobacco emerge. Velvet texture, refined warmth at 45.1%, and a long, lingering finish of spice, cocoa and a whisper of sea salt.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish glides from dark chocolate and dried fig to espresso and toasted oak. Spiced fruit lingers, with hints of leather and tobacco, softly tempered by a whisper of coastal brine. A warm, velvet fade that persists with refined sherry-influenced richness, slowly dissolving into the palate.
