Bruichladdich 10 years old is the youngest bottling in the current core range. Jim McEwan, our Master Distiller, has personally selected oak casks from the Bruichladdich warehouses and carefully vatted them together to create an individual style of cuvee, which is full, rich and complex, with warmth and balance. Like all other bottlings, this First Edition Bruichladdich 10 Year Old is caramel free. After maturation in our shore-side warehouses, it has been bottled at 46% without chill-filtration in the Distillery, using Islay spring water.

- Color
- Very pale
- Nose
- Alcohol. Water brings some fruit.
- Body
- Very dry. Less so with water.
- Palate
- Very floural with light peat. Water brings out an amazing sour apple flavour. Truly remarkable.
- Finish
- Minty cool and efervesant.
This is another terrific surprise from Bruichladdich. They really take Islay malts to a new place. The bitter apple in this whisky is truly remarkable, and utterly delightful.
