Wine Cask
An unpeated single malt from the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay, which we bottled for our very own Single Cask Series. This one was distilled in December 2004 and bottled in March 2018. It was aged in a Sauternes cask, imparting delicious sweetness to the whisky...
Cream cheese, ripe apricots and icing sugar meet malty, charred and rooty undertones. Crystallised lime, a touch of coconut milk and candied orange emerge among warming ginger and acacia honey.
A thick, rich sweet opening of toffee pennies, Seville marmalade and earthy vanilla is cut through by more warm spice and flickers of sea salt.
White wine acidity is drying in a finish that almost leaves a salt rim on your tongue.
A great example of how to utilise a Sauternes cask and deliver unpeated Bruichladdich brilliance.
