Bruichladdich 18 Year Old (750ml)

Distiller’s Notes:

Matured exclusively on Islay, primarily in ex-Bourbon casks and a small number of Port and Sauternes wine casks, The Bruichladdich Eighteen is the epitome of Bruichladdich’s signature unpeated house style.

Full bodied and beautifully fragrant, notes of honey, butterscotch, and citrus orange open on the nose, with a medley of tropical fruits and toasted mellow oak lingering on the palate.

94 points Whiskey Advocate #2 Whiskey of the Year 2024

The flagship of Bruichladdichs Luxury Redefined range is packaged in a molded fiber cocoon. Distilled in 2004, this whisky includes the distillerys first use of Islay-grown barley. It was matured on Islay, mostly in bourbon barrels but also in a combination of sauternes and port casks. Aromas of honey, vanilla, and creamed coconut are wrapped around floral flourishes, with peach, melon, guava, and ground ginger. Complex layers of gooseberry, melon, and banana mingle with butterscotch, barley sugar, honeycomb, vanilla, and cinnamon, running into a satisfying finish of ginger and oak spice with a hint of coastal saltiness.
