Bruichladdich Recioto Valpolicella Wine Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 1994 Vintage

Colour

Glowing amber-gold with coppery luster and a warm, sunlit ruby hue.

Nose

Bright cherry and dried fig fuse with red-berry compote and raisin, bathed in lush Recioto sweetness. Vanilla, almond and dark chocolate unfold alongside warm spice and a touch of oak, while a whisper of maritime smoke threads through, lending elegance and depth to the aroma.

Palate

Silky, fruit-forward palate with plush Recioto sweetness. Dried cherry, fig and plum unfold with cocoa, vanilla and a touch of oak spice. A whisper of coastal saltiness from the Islay character lingers as the wine-cask warmth persists. Long, refined and elegantly fruity, finishing with a soft, lingering sweetness.

Finish

Long and velvety, the finish reveals Recioto-driven sweetness—ripe cherry, fig and raisin—woven with vanilla, dark chocolate and a whisper of toasted oak. Subtle Islay smoke threads through the sweetness, fading to warm spice as the palate is left with a refined, dessert-kissed linger.
