Bruichladdich 18 Year Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)
Bruichladdich 18 Year is an unpeated Islay single malt that highlights the island's coastal character through extended maturation rather than peat smoke. Distilled from 100% Scottish barley and matured primarily in bourbon casks with a smaller proportion of premium wine casks, the whisky is bottled at 50% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with natural color, reflecting Bruichladdich's commitment to transparency and traditional presentation.
The nose opens with aromas of honey, ripe peach, citrus zest, vanilla, and wildflowers, followed by layers of baked apple, toasted oak, salted caramel, and gentle baking spice. On the palate, the whisky is rich yet vibrant, balancing orchard fruit, malt sweetness, crÚme brûlée, roasted nuts, and a subtle maritime minerality that speaks to its Islay origins. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of oak, citrus, and coastal salinity.
Founded in 1881 and revived in 2001, Bruichladdich has become one of Scotland's most progressive distilleries, championing terroir, barley provenance, and full production transparency. The 18 Year is a beautifully mature expression of the distillery's unpeated house style, offering depth, precision, and a distinctive sense of place.
