Bruichladdich Duke Of Edinburgh Award Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 15 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with copper-bronze edges, a luminous, sunlit hue that speaks to sherry-cask richness.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven nose with dried fig and raisin, orange zest, toffee and vanilla. Roasted walnut and cocoa nibs deepen the sweetness, while maritime notes—sea spray and a touch of saline brine—lend Islay coastal character. Rich oak and spice linger, hinting at the 54% ABV.

Palate

Silky and opulent on the palate, it coats with dark chocolate, fig and raisin, brightened by orange zest and toffee. Sherry depth mingles with a maritime hint, while peppery spice and roasted almond drive a long, warming finish of oak and subtle sweetness.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish unfolds with sherry-cask maturity: dark fig and raisin entwined with toffee, cocoa and toasted oak. A maritime whisper and peppery heat linger, leaving a refined, mouth-coating warmth at 54% ABV.
