Bruichladdich Islay Single Malt Whisky (Old Bottling) 21 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany undertones and a coppery, sherry-warmed glow.

Nose

Islay maritime perfume of sea spray and brine, lifted by a lush sherry influence. Dried orange zest, fig, and prune meet dark fruit, almond, and toffee; vanilla and cocoa weave through velvety oak. Gentle spice, leather, and a whisper of smoke linger, signaling decades of patient maturation.

Palate

Silky and refined, this Bruichladdich carries sherry-rich sweetness that coats the tongue with orchard fruit, dried raisin and fig, bright orange zest, and a ribbon of toffee. Almond and caramel mingle with warming spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—settled on plump oak, with a whisper of coastal salt to lift the mid-palate. Long, luxurious finish, cocoa-dusted and lingering with dried-fruit echoes.

Finish

Long, refined finish that opens with bright orange peel and orchard sweetness, then softens into sherry-dark fruits, fig, and a hint of cacao. Spices - cinnamon, clove - rise alongside silky oak, while a coastal brine lingers. The wave of warmth leaves a polished, lingering impression of maturity and quiet elegance.
