Bruichladdich Valinch - Temple Of Drams Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with burnished gold highlights and coppery edges.

Nose

Coastal brine and lemon zest brighten a lush core of pear and yellow apple, lifted by vanilla and toasted oak. Sherry-matured notes soften with dried fig, almond and cocoa nib, while a delicate smoke shadow lingers, weaving complexity into a long, elegant aroma.

Palate

Silky and lush on the palate, this 18-year Bruichladdich sherry-cask unfurls dark fig, date, and plum with ribbons of chocolate and caramel. Spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—drape over toasted almond and velvety oak. A touch of sea-salt keeps it buoyant, finishing long with velvet cocoa, orange zest, and a warm, lingering sweetness.

Finish

A lush, enduring finish that clings with sherry-scented fruit—figs, raisins, and a touch of dark cocoa—elevated by toasted nuts and a wisp of coastal salt. Rich oak and spice bloom softly, then fade to a warm, lingering glow that coats the palate long after the last sip.
