Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber-gold with luminous honeyed highlights and a coppery glow, edged in warm mahogany.

Nose

Opulent, sherry-kissed nose from Bruichladdich Islay expresses dark fig and raisin, date sweetness folded into antique oak and toasted almond. Orange zest, caramel, and cocoa mingle with sea-salt air, a whisper of smoke, and a touch of leather—inviting, mature, and richly scented.

Palate

Silky and expansive, this Bruichladdich delivers opulent sherry sweetness with prune, fig and cocoa, folded into toasted almond and treacle. A whisper of maritime brine and gentle spice drift through the middle, building to a long, velvety finish of espresso, polished oak and a faint, refined smoke.

Finish

Prolonged, elegant finish that glides with dried figs and raisins, lacquered in dark chocolate and spice; sherry sweetness envelops the palate before a lingering touch of walnut and tobacco, with a gentle coastal warmth that slowly fades to soft oak.

Bruichladdich
(brook-LADDIE) Bruichladdich distillery is the home of four different malts: the unpeated Bruichladdich, the heavily peated Port Charlotte, the even more peated (and rarely seen) Lochindaal and the super heavily peated Octomore. The distillery was built in 1881 by the Harvey Brothers and at the time it was viewed as a very modern establishment.  It is situated in The Rhinns, in the west of the island, overlooking Loch Indaal. It ran under a succession of different owners including Whyte and Mackay and Murray McDavid before being purchased by Remy Cointreau in 2012.
