Matured exclusively on Islay, primarily in ex-Bourbon casks and a small number of wine casks, The Bruichladdich Eighteen is the epitome of Bruichladdich's signature unpeated house style. Full bodied and beautifully fragrant, notes of honey, butterscotch, and citrus orange open on the nose, with a medley of tropical fruits and toasted mellow oak lingering on the palate.

SPECIFICATIONS

BARLEY VERIATAL: The Bruichladdich Eighteen is made using a combination of Scottish Mainland, Islay and Organic barley, with each varietal and harvest fully traceable from farm to bottle

MALTING: Unpeated

DISTILLATION: Distilled in 2004, single vintage expression

MATURATION PROFILE: The single malt has matured exclusively on Islay primarily in ex-bourbon casks. These bourbon casks, together with a smaller number of Sauternes and Port casks, are vatted and married for nine months before bottling to balance Bruichladdich’s signature floral and fruity character.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Apricot.

NOSE: Beautifully fragrant with ripe peach and honeysuckle, hints of violet and lavender come through on the nose – balanced with vanilla and creamed coconut from the toasted American oak. A medley of tropical fruit comes to the fore, with melon, peaches, apricots, and vibrant citrus, while the influence of the oak brings honey, caramel vanilla custard and rich crème brûlée.

PALATE: Luxurious and viscous, honey, butterscotch and fresh fruits coat the palate, followed by cereal notes of sweet, syrup soaked porridge, barley sugar and toasted oak. Vibrant tropical fruit and the subtle presence of toasted oak with a hint of leather follow, with honeycomb adding to the smooth, sweet character.

FINISH: The quintessential character of Bruichladdich single malt comes through on the finish. The 18 Year Old has the classic minerality for which Bruichladdich is renowned, perfectly balanced with oak, stoned fruit and a delicate floral bouquet.

Crafted with expertise by the Bulleit Distilling Co., the 95 Rye 12 Year Old Frontier Whiskey is a testament to American whiskey tradition. Aged for 12 years in charred oak barrels, its mash bill, primarily composed of rye, offers a bold and spicy flavor profile. This well-aged spirit boasts complex notes of oak, vanilla, caramel, and a peppery kick, making it a favorite among whiskey connoisseurs for its depth and sophistication.

Maker Notes

The Night Sweats Straight Bourbon was created in partnership with the band to benefit The Marigold Project, Nathaniel Rateliff’s nonprofit that supports community and nonprofit organizations working on issues of economic, racial and social justice.

In fact, $10 of every bottle sold goes to The Marigold Project (TMP).

This partnership all began in 2021 with a cocktail, The Marigold Sour. Our version of the classic Whiskey Sour features a tincture infused with marigold petals and a house-made marigold syrup. Using the cocktail to help raise funds for TMP lead us to a discussion about new ways to collaborate and promote TMP’s mission. Now here we are, with two batches of The Night Sweats Straight Bourbon under our belts and thousands donated!

TASTING NOTES
The earthy sweetness of the millet (a small kernel ancient grain) does the balancing act in this Bourbon. The peppery red corn and sweet tortilla blue corn notes give it that traditional bourbon sweetness. It’s a big whiskey that sips neat but isn’t scared of an ice cube either. Dark caramel and brown sugar compliment the grain notes that remain prominent in this spirit.

TASTING NOTES
Banana bread, grapefruit, peach ice cream

Rio is our latest installment in our Cooper Series which takes our straight whiskeys on a world tour, pairing Penelope with unique casks from around the world. Inspired by the joy of Brazil, Rio delights the senses with a double cask finish of American honey and Brazilian oak. The two make perfect dance partners, rich and sweet, with surprising depth. It's a carnival in a bottle.  

TASTING NOTES

Aroma: Sweet honey with a fun Cinnamon roll note

Forward Notes: Sweet spice

Body Notes: Gingerbread, honey nectar & sweet baking spice

Finish: Long and savory finish with subtle hints of sweet honey & spice

This is a wonderfully rich and complex single malt. Opening with rich and spicy aromas of crème brûlée, heather honey and crumbled cinnamon, intensely fruity notes follow – fresh pineapple dressed with a scattering of sun-kissed lemon zest. There’s a hint of freshly baked sponge cake too, warm from the oven, and you’ll find cinnamon again, but toasted shards this time. Citrus and vanilla notes linger in the aromatic waves of peat smoke.

To create our 15 Year Old, Gordon Motion, our Master Whisky Maker, selected predominantly sherry seasoned European oak casks to deliver warm, spicy notes, and sherry seasoned American oak casks to provide a balance of sweet vanilla. Expertly adding just a few refill casks to soften and smooth the flavours, Gordon chose to bottle at 44% ABV to allow the whisky’s vibrant fruitiness and distinctive heathery peat to shine through.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Light golden, clear and bright

FLAVOURS: Toasted cinnamon shards | Mellow peat smoke | Warm vanilla sponge cake | Sun-kissed lemon zest | Fresh pineapple | Heather-rich honey
