SINGLE MALT · 18YO · 63.5% · FIRST FILL BOURBON BARRELS AND FIRST FILL RIVESALTES CASKS

The first of its kind — a single malt Scotch whisky distilled four times and matured on Islay for 18 years – X4+18 embodies Bruichladdich’s boundary-pushing outlook and enduring patience. The higher ABV, combined with the quiet passing of time yields a refined, gentle and fruit-laden character: muscovado sugar and honeyed pastry mingle with jammy fruits, mixed spice, and dry toasted oak.

A/ Official tasting notes

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.
