Whiskies from 'Bruichladdich Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Bruichladdich Distillery.

• Bruichladdich 'Islands' Third edition, 20 Years Old

Surely a finish, but I couldn’t quite place the influence, despite it having the malt in a half-nelson. Curious, but I liked it.

• Bruichladdich 10 Years Old

Not only the liveliness of youth but also the least wood influence. The use of second-fill casks leaves the fruity flavours of Bruichladdich to express themselves more freely.

• Bruichladdich 10 Years Old

Very slightly spirity, but appetising.

• Bruichladdich 15 Years Old

More rounded and restrained than I remember, but lots of flavour development in that long middle. Bring on the Islay oysters.

• Bruichladdich 15 Years Old Limited Edition

The nose puts you off, the palate tries to make it up but the result is not exciting.

• Bruichladdich 15 Years Old, (JBB Bottling)

An easily drinkable yet satisfying malt. Has definitely benefited from the extra five years.

• Bruichladdich 1969, Old Malt Cask

Shows that this whisky can handle some age and sherry.

• Bruichladdich 1970

Lively, expressive, enjoyable.

• Bruichladdich 1970 15th Anniversary Bottling

• Bruichladdich 1984 Vintage

A more familiar Islay style, with plenty of pep.

• Bruichladdich 1986 Blacker Still

• Bruichladdich 20 Years Old

Rounded, balanced and complex. Too expensive to pour on my porridge before an early morning walk on the Big Strand? I'll economise. I'll skip the porridge.

• Bruichladdich Blacker Still

• Bruichladdich Celtic Nations

• Bruichladdich Celtic Nations

Seems to have stored all the ingredients for a healthy breakfast. A morning dram? Quite inviting.

• Bruichladdich Infinity Second Edition

Alcohol is perfectly tamed. No burn or tang. A cheery dram for a sunny afternoon.

• Bruichladdich Legacy 1966 Vintage

An especially characterful 'laddie from its sunny hue and lean, firm body to its touch of tartness.

• Bruichladdich Legacy Series II 1965

Does Starbucks know about this?

• Bruichladdich Redder Still

A plump fruity number.

• Bruichladdich Second Edition 15 Years Old

I seem to have fallen into a breakfast reverie. This would be best with a Japanese breakfast.

• Bruichladdich Vintage 1973

The whisky for a Baltimore crab feast. Why not a Bruichladdich crab feast, come to that?

• Bruichladdich XVII, 17 Years Old

I shall try this in a Caipirinha, with a CD of Annie Ross at her peak.
