Bruichladdich 18 Year Old Whisky

This distinguished Islay single malt has been quietly maturing for 18 years, revealing the full complexity and elegance that only extended ageing can bring. Crafted without peat, it reflects the refined side of Bruichladdich’s whisky-making philosophy.

Matured predominantly in ex-Bourbon casks, with a smaller portion of wine cask influence, this expression showcases the delicate balance of oak, time, and spirit. Rich yet approachable, it offers layers of fruit, spice, and oak in a long, satisfying finish.

• The Bruichladdich 18 Year Old Whisky opens with aromas of golden honey, soft butterscotch, and fresh citrus zest.
• A palate of tropical fruits emerges, mango, pineapple, and banana. All enveloped by the warmth of toasted oak.
• Hints of vanilla, sweet malt, and dried orange peel add depth and texture.
• The influence of both Bourbon and wine casks creates a rounded, complex flavour with refined spice and subtle richness.
• The finish is long and smooth, with lingering sweetness, elegant oak, and gentle fruit echoes.

Perfectly suited to contemplative sipping, this 18-year-old malt is equally at home alongside rich dishes such as roast duck, pork tenderloin, or smoked salmon. For a sweeter match, try it with crème brulee, orange chocolate, or a honey almond tart to enhance the whisky’s citrus, oak, and butterscotch character.
