Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with coppery highlights
Nose
Dark fruit on the nose—raisins, fig and date, lifted by orange zest and a touch of toffee. Warming spice—nutmeg and cinnamon—sits over polished oak, with almond and cocoa hints. Subtle sea breeze and brine weave through the sherry sweetness, revealing the PX and Oloroso influence while maintaining Bruichladdich’s coastal, unpeated character.
Palate
Sherry-drenched on the palate, vibrant fruit sweetness with fig, raisin and date, brightened by orange zest and treacle. Warming spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—meets a coastal, briny lift. At 50%, full-bodied yet silky, the un-chillfiltered texture lingers with oak warmth and a clean maritime finish.
Finish
Long, refined finish with sherry-soaked fruit notes of raisin, fig and orange peel, gradually yielding to warming spice. The Islay coastline threads through the sweetness—salted air and a touch of brine lifting the fruit and oak. PX and Oloroso linger softly, tapering to a persistent warmth and a subtle citrus echo.
