Bruichladdich XVII 1st Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old

Colour

Deep, sun-kissed amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany undertones, a warm honey-bronze glow.

Nose

Opulent and nuanced, this bouquet opens with vanilla bean, caramel toffee, and toasted oak, echoing a well‑aged dessert. Dark rum sweetness settles in—raisin, fig, and banana—kissed by cinnamon and a whisper of clove. Subtle tropical fruit notes mingle with citrus zest, while a coastal saline nuance lends finesse, guiding toward a long, elegant finish.

Palate

Silky and medium-full, the palate opens with creamy vanilla and toffee from the bourbon cask, layered with tropical, rum-kissed fruit. Raisins, banana and coconut mingle with spice—cinnamon and clove—while a coastal salinity threads through. The finish is long and warm, echoing oak with a subtle chocolatey note and a lingering kiss of rum sweetness.

Finish

Long, refined and indulgent, the finish opens with vanilla and caramel from the bourbon, then reveals rum-cask spice and tropical hints of mango and toffee. A coastal warmth lingers, edged with pepper and oak, fading into molasses and dry fruit for a polished, lingering finale.
