Bruichladdich Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-gold highlights and a sun-kissed bronze core, radiant in the glass.

Nose

Opulent sherry richness dominates the nose, with dried plums, fig and raisin, orange zest, and cocoa, layered over vanilla and warm oak. Nutty almond and toffee mingle softly, while a restrained maritime lift and subtle spice keep the aroma elegant and balanced.

Palate

Opulent and powerful on the palate, this cask-strength Bruichladdich unfurls with a rich sherry bloom: dried cherries and figs, orange zest, and stewed plums, deepened by dark chocolate. Velvet vanilla and toasted oak mingle with cinnamon and nutmeg, while a saline coastal note keeps it bright. Long, warming finish with almond, caramel, and lingering spice.

Finish

Expansive, lingering finish. Cask-strength warmth coats the palate as sherry sweetness deepens into dark fruits—prune, fig, raisin—with cocoa, toasted almond and a hint of orange zest. A delicate sea-salt lift and coastal spice keep it buoyant, while peppery heat and oak stretch the tail into a long, refined, velvety sweetness that slowly fades to a whisper.
