Bruichladdich Spirit Cask Bourbon Cask Matured Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a subtle coppery glow.

Nose

Vanilla and creamy caramel lead, giving way to ripe pear and yellow apple with a glimmer of lemon zest. Subtle almond, toffee and coconut echo the bourbon cask influence, while a gentle maritime breeze and a faint citrus peel keep the aroma bright and refined.

Palate

Silky and inviting, the palate unfolds with vanilla bean, honeyed apples, and toasted coconut over a creamy toffee backbone. Bright citrus—orange zest and lemon—lifts the sweetness, while gentle spice and oak add depth. A coastal whisper lingers into a long, warm finish with vanilla and almond notes.

Finish

Long, velvety finish of vanilla, toffee and honey from the bourbon cask, unfolding into citrus zest and gentle baking spice. Silky oak wraps the palate with a faint maritime whisper, leaving a warm, refined sweetness that lingers.
