Bruichladdich Oloroso Jerez Sherry Wood Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany undertones and copper-gold highlights; a rich, sunlit bronze hue that hints at sherry-cask maturity.

Nose

Ripe oloroso sherry dominates the aroma: dried fig, raisin and date, treacle and toffee, with almond and cocoa nibs. Hints of orange zest, vanilla and spice weave through polished oak, while a delicate maritime breeze and a whisper of smoke linger.

Palate

Silky and richly sherried, the palate opens with dried fig, prune and raisin, touches of dark chocolate and burnt sugar. Almond, orange zest and vanilla thread through a subtle maritime lift, while toasted oak frames a long, warm finish steeped in sherry sweetness and refined spice.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of dried fig and orange zest, with sherry-cask depth: dark chocolate, toasted almond and toffee. Velvet oak and a whisper of sea salt carry the sweetness, slowly fading into warm malt.
