Bruichladdich X4 Futures Single Malt Scotch Whisky 5 Year Old · 2006 Vintage

Colour

Sherry-hued gold with copper-amber depth and a warm, honey-glow.

Nose

Sherry-soaked richness floods the nose with dark cherry, plum and fig, sparkled by orange zest. Vanilla bean, almond paste and toffee weave through toasted oak, while cocoa nibs add depth. A faint maritime breeze lingers, and the high ABV lends a warm, spicy glow that invites further exploration.

Palate

Silky and generous on the palate, sherry-soaked raisin, fig and plum mingle with dark chocolate, toffee and vanilla. Nutmeg and clove spice lift orange zest and subtle oak, while the 64.6% ABV delivers a warming, lasting finish that unfolds slowly, leaving fruit, spice and refined oak in its wake.

Finish

Long, sumptuous finish of raisin and fig, with rich sherry sweetness mingling almond, cocoa and a gentle spice. The high ABV extends the linger, leaving a warm, peppery fade supported by subtle oak and a refined sherry elegance that coats the palate.
