- Description
- This 15-year-old Islay single malt was distilled in August 2002 and aged in a single sherry hogshead, building deep mahogany colour and rich sherried character typical of Bruichladdich's approach to wood maturation. Dried fruit, dark chocolate, and orchard notes dominate, layered with the distillery's signature maritime salinity and subtle peat smoke. The texture is full and coating, with warming alcohol and a long, drying finish. A contemplative dram for those who appreciate sherry influence balanced with Islay's coastal character.
