Bruichladdich 18 Year Old Unpeated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (blue wrap) (750ml)
94
Whisky Advocate
A whiff of wood smoke or char on the nose, creating an overlay to more classic notes of stone fruit, mango, red berries, apples, and vanilla. Still lots of fruited liveliness beneath the initial smoke, which develops more toward cigar box and cigar ash. The palate offers honeyed sweetness, crème brûlée, coconut cream, tropical fruits, red berries, and pepper spice. Smooth and mellow on the finish, but the flavors don’t linger long. *Ranked #2 in the Top 20 of 2024* (JM, Spring-2024)

We've waited almost two decades for this expression from the special distillery on Lochindaal. The beautiful Classic Laddie is all grown up now and their core range has officially expanded. In conjunction with the release of a new sexy bottle shape, the famed "unpeated" Islay distillery is offering this exceptional, authentic expression of its most mature modern stock at an altogether reasonable price. Designed to capture the house style in its purest form, the 18 Year is almost entirely made up of first fill ex-bourbon with just a handful of specially selected wine casks of undisclosed origins. The result is one of the most exciting malts we've seen in years. Textured and rich, brimming with honey, tropical fruit, toasted oak and citrus oils. A benchmark malt that proves these guys were really onto something all those long years ago.
