Bruichladdich Micro Provenance Single Moscatel Cask #55 Whisky 9 Year Old · 2014 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with honeyed warmth and copper-tinged edges.

Nose

Sun-kissed orange blossom and apricot rise from the glass, entwined with honeyed raisins from the Moscatel cask. Almond paste, vanilla, and a whisper of brioche add luxurious depth, while maritime brine and a touch of iodine keep the sweetness buoyant. The bouquet feels creamy, radiant, and inviting, hinting at the complexities to come.

Palate

Opulent and mouth-coating, this Bruichladdich delivers Moscatel richness with honeyed fruit and citrus confit—fig, apricot and candied orange—beneath vanilla, almond and toffee. The 62.8% ABV lends a peppery warmth that lifts the sweetness, while a whisper of sea salt and subtle smoke adds coastal depth, finishing long and velvety.

Finish

Opulent, long finish of dried peach and orange zest, with honeyed Muscat sweetness from the Moscatel cask. Subtle sea-salt and Islay smoke weave around vanilla, spice and almond, as the warmth lingers into a creamy, resonant fade.
