Bruichladdich Feis Ile 2011 - Ancient Regime Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Rich, deep amber with coppery-russet undertones and a burnished mahogany edge, glowing with honey-gold highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherry aroma of dark fruit—fig, plum and raisin—woven with cocoa, orange zest and toasted almond. Velvet vanilla and toffee mingle with nutmeg and clove, while a subtle coastal brine threads through, giving Islay depth without smoke.

Palate

Silky and sumptuous, the palate unfolds in sherried richness: dried figs, dates and dark chocolate, brightened by orange zest. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—fold in toasted almond with a whisper of sea salt. Creamy, medium-bodied texture accelerates to a long, warm finish, where caramel sweetness lingers with oak spice and a touch of tobacco.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of rich dried fruit and dark chocolate, unfolding into toffee, orange zest, and gentle spice. The sherry influence lingers with a velvety sweetness, while a marine edge and toasted oak slowly recede to leave a warm, contemplative glow.
