Bruichladdich Flirtation 2nd Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Pinky-gold with a soft rose tint, a delicate blush that catches the light with a warm, wine-kissed glow.

Nose

An opulent bouquet of sun-warmed peaches and apricots, ripe berries and fig, lightly honeyed. Vanilla and creme brulee drift through creamy oak, while spice notes—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—lift the aroma. A whisper of wine-cask sweetness and a soft almond paste nuance completes the impression.

Palate

Silky, fruit-forward profile opening with gilded sweetness: ripe orchard fruits and red berries mingle with sun-warmed spice—ginger, clove, cinnamon. Wine-cask maturation adds luxurious toffee, fig and cherry notes, enhancing depth without heaviness. The twenty years soften edges into a creamy, balanced texture, delivering a long, polished finish with a subtle oak glow and a lingering warmth.

Finish

Silky, elongated finish lingers with orchard fruit sweetness, red berry jam and a kiss of spice. Wine-cask refinement leaves velvety tannins and a warm, lingering glow, echoing the pink-hued dram. The sweetness softens into subtle spice and a final, elegant whisper of oak.
