Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright sun-gold with a delicate amber glow.
Nose
Fresh coastal breeze carries bright malt with a touch of sea salt. Honeyed vanilla and light citrus lift the nose, while gentle oak adds toasted almond and subtle resin. A delicate, refined Islay aroma—bright, clean, and subtly maritime, with a whisper of dried fruit from its 15-year maturation.
Palate
Coastal brightness coats the palate with citrus zest and honeyed malt, carried on a creamy vanilla spine. A gentle oak backbone adds toasted grain and a whisper of spice, while the 46% ABV delivers a clean, lightly saline finish. Subtle and refined, it reflects Bruichladdich's unpeated, bright Islay house style.
Finish
Long, coastal finish with sea-salt, vanilla and honeyed malt. Bright marine notes linger, balanced by gentle oak spice, leaving a silky, lightly briny warmth that slowly fades into quiet Islay echoes.
