Bruichladdich Flirtation 1st Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old

Colour

Dense, deep amber with mahogany depth and a warm, burnished copper glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry aromas cloak the nose: dried figs, raisins and dates, brightened by orange zest and toffee. Cocoa nibs, roasted almond and cedar mingle with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, settled on velvety oak. A delicate wisp of smoke, leather and coastal brine hints at Islay character and lingers warmly.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, with an oily mouthfeel that coats the palate. Rich dried fruits—raisin, fig, date—intertwined with dark chocolate and toffee from sherry maturation, layered with almond and orange zest. Spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—rise, while a subtle coastal saltiness and a whisper of iodine echo the Islay shores. A long, warm finish of fruitcake, cocoa and toasted oak.

Finish

Long, velvet finish infused by sherry cask maturity: dark chocolate, dried orange, and raisin unfold against toasted almond. A whisper of coastal salt and tobacco-laced oak lingers, balanced by subtle spice and a refined, warming finale.
