Bruichladdich Distillery

Bruichladdich X4:01 18 Years Old

ABV: 63.5% 70 cL

This single malt was born from Bruichladdich's experimental approach. This is the very first malt from this Islay distillery, which was distilled not twice, not three, but four times, purely out of curiosity. It came off the still at a whopping 85% and was laid to rest in first-fill bourbon and Riversaltes casks, where it rested for 18 years, creating a gentle, sweet and fruit-laden whisky. 

Bottled without chill-filtration or artificial colouring. 

Nose

Dried apricot and sweet mango open on the nose, balanced with mellow toasted oak and creamy coconut. Muscovado sugar and honeyed pastry combine with layers of subtle spice, followed with notes of caramel, vanilla fudge and toasted Brazil nuts.

Palate

Beautifully rounded and smooth in texture, a wave of sweetness washes across the palate. With a gentle yet undeniably powerful presence, rich, jammy fruit notes mingle with dry toasted oak. The earthy richness of Brazil nuts adds depth and complexity, with rich Christmas cake, dried fruits and citrus marmalade bringing a subtle warmth.

Finish

Succulent dried fruits and mellow oak add a beautiful warmth to the finish, as the sweetness of stewed fruits linger.
