Bruichladdich Cuvee C Margaux Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old

Colour

Rich deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a hint of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent red-wine perfume from Margaux casks: ripe black cherry, cassis and plum layered with fig and cranberry. Hints of dark chocolate, cocoa nibs, vanilla and almond paste emerge, spiced with cinnamon and clove. Toasted oak adds structure, while a whisper of maritime salt underscores the finish, inviting further discovery.

Palate

Silky and creamy on the palate, with a luxurious wave of red fruit and dark chocolate. Rich cherry and plum mingle with walnut and orange zest, underpinned by vanilla from the sherry cask. Supple oak and spice thread a velvety mouthfeel, leading to a long finish of dried fruits, cocoa nibs, and a bright, saline hint.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with a red-fruit glow—cherry and raspberry—touched by Bordeaux cask influence. Velvet tannins mingle with subtle spice, cocoa and vanilla, leaving a warm, refined sweetness that lingers beautifully, carried on a whisper of maritime Islay air.
