Bruichladdich, 18-Year-Old, Islay, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (50%)

Description

This unpeated dram from Islay is aged in ex-Bourbon barrels and a small selection of wine casks. While nosing the glass, enticing aromas of sweet blossom honey, zesty orange peel and ripe banana emerge. Upon tasting, the oak’s influence has bestowed muscovado sugar and lightly salted caramel brittle flavours. All is integrated harmoniously with the sweet medley of tropical fruits running throughout the palate. This all wraps up rather elegantly with a delicious and mouth-watering finish. This is a perfect after-dinner digestif in the midsummer.

About this spirit

Bruichladdich Distillery, Islay

Bruichladdich was built in 1881 by the Harvey Brothers and sits on Islay’s wild, west Atlantic coast. With a chequered past involving several corporate mergers, it was eventually closed in 1994 as it was found to be “surplus to requirements”. Resurrected in 2000 by Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin, and Jim McEwan, it was voted Distillery of the Year three times and became known for its challenging convention.

Islay

Islay whisky is a distinctive style of Scotch whisky from the Isle of Islay, known for its peaty and smoky flavours. The island's maritime climate adds a briny quality to the whiskies. Famous distilleries like Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Lagavulin, and Bowmore produce sought-after single malts with powerful and complex flavours, making Islay whisky a captivating category within Scotch whisky.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
