Bruichladdich Duncan Taylor Peerless Single Cask #202 Whisky 37 Year Old · 1966 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a coppery glow and mahogany depth, a sunset-bronze in the glass.

Nose

Maritime brine and a delicate whisper of peat drift over polished oak, with citrus zest and vanilla cream. Dried fig and raisin unfold into cocoa and walnut, lifted by a soft spice. The sherry influence adds nutty complexity and a hint of toasted almond, while waxy barley and faint smoke keep the aroma refined and timeless.

Palate

Silky and richly developed on the palate, this Bruichladdich unfurls dried fig, orange zest, and toffee with cacao and toasted oak. Subtle maritime salt and spice lift the mid-palate, while ripe fruit notes deepen into a refined sweetness. A long, elegant finish fades with cocoa, vanilla, and a whisper of smoke.

Finish

Long and elegant, the finish lingers with toffee and dried fruit—raisin, fig, and orange zest—spiced by cinnamon and clove. A subtle Islay saline lift threads through dark chocolate and toasted almond, then yields to polished oak and a quiet, refined warmth that fades to velvet.
