Bruichladdich Links - The 18th Green Royal Troon Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old
Out of stock
A Bruichladdich Links release inspired by the 18th green at Royal Troon, this 14 year old Islay single malt was bottled in 2004 after maturation in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks.
Part of a series celebrating historic golf courses, it showcases Bruichladdich’s unpeated house style, where fresh malt character and coastal influence are complemented by the dual cask maturation, adding gentle vanilla sweetness, dried fruit richness and soft spice.
Royal Troon is one of Scotland’s most renowned Open Championship venues, famous for its classic links layout and the dramatic finishing stretch along the Ayrshire coast.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with a warm honey glow and subtle coppery undertones.
Nose
Fresh, unpeated Bruichladdich character with a coastal breeze and barley sweetness. Vanilla from bourbon casks, a touch of sherry, and dried fruits—raisins, dates, apricots—plus soft spice, all framed by oak and sea air.
Palate
Silky coastal character on the palate, where creamy vanilla from bourbon casks meets rich dried fruit—figs and apricots—from sherry, finished with soft spice. Mid-weight, elegant and balanced, a gentle sweetness with a touch of sea-salt. The finish lingers quietly, with subtle oak and coastal air.
Finish
Long, maritime finish with gentle vanilla, dried fruit sweetness and soft spice, tempered by sherry-oak warmth. A refined coastal glow lingers, inviting the next sip.
