Tasting Notes

Nose

Honeyed barley, boiled sweets, orange petals, sea air, red apples, white grapes — clean and fruity

Palate

Sweet cinnamon, brown sugar, mineral-rich malt, toffee, honey, softly coastal — the 50% giving proper body

Finish

Medium — gentle oak, barley sweetness, hint of maritime salinity — Islay without peat, but with character

Expert Review

8/10

Bruichladdich's flagship: unpeated, NAS, 100% Scottish barley. Non-chill filtered, no added colour. Iconic teal-blue bottle. Multi-vintage vatting from bourbon, sherry, and wine casks. Islay distilled but deliberately not smoky. One of the best entry-level single malts — 50% adds real body without harshness.
