Description

This single malt Scotch whisky has been crafted by master distiller Jim McEwan from individually selected casks to showcase the classic, floral and elegant bruichladdich house style. Unpeated, it is the signature bottling and the definitive Bruichladdich.

Made from 100% Scottish barley, trickle distilled, then matured for its entire life by the shores of Lochindaal in premium American oak, it is a testament to the quality ingredients.

Nose
Pale, fragile and lacy. A very discreet nose with whiffs of the mill room and then daffodils. Cool light and very subtle but with real sweetness behind.
Palate
Very pure and with more intensity than the nose suggests. Creamy texture. Gentle pear like fruits and again water helps to spread the flavours over the palate. Lovely texture.
Finish
Gooseberry.
Comment
Discreet, subtle and pure with great balance for one so young - and marked accordingly.

Critics reviews

David Flemming 93/100

The nose is fragrant and fruity, with lemon, peach, pea, fresh-sliced melon, honey, vanilla, fragrant grassiness, and hay. The palate has a more fruity sweetness and honeyed texture, with very light notes of smoke or char on the back palate, balanced by spice and light herbs. The finish is very long, with fruit, honey, and lingering spice. It is a beautiful balance of flavours with unity, depth, and grace.
