Bruichladdich Pedro Ximinez Series 2 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 1992 Vintage

Colour

Deep mahogany-amber with coppery highlights and a warm, ruby-gold glow.

Nose

Opulent Pedro Ximenez sherry greets the nose with a velvet cascade of dark dried fruit, including raisins, fig, and date, paired with caramel, orange zest, and toffee. Subtle cocoa and walnut add depth, while cinnamon and clove provide spice; a touch of oak lends polish, and a whisper of maritime tang lingers.

Palate

Luxuriously full and velvety, this palate unfurls a syrupy flood of dried fig, prune and raisin, laced with treacle, toffee and dark chocolate. PX sweetness threads bright orange zest and vanilla, while a subtle maritime edge keeps it buoyant. A whisper of espresso adds depth. The finish is long and warm, with cacao, spice and lingering sherry fruit.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of dried fig and raisin sweetness, with dark chocolate, treacle and orange zest, balanced by warm spices. Sherried oak lingers, guided by a gentle sea-air breeze, fading to a nutty, toasted finish.
