CHARACTER
A Bruichladdich that captures pure sunshine in liquid form — bright, creamy and endlessly drinkable, yet with the elegant black-tea structure that serious whisky collectors crave.
The key lime pie and oolong-like tea notes feel right at home in Singapore (think a refined teh-o with tropical fruit), while the oily texture and clove finish give it serious sipping pedigree. Perfect next step for fans of your earlier Scotch releases who want something lively and approachable.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Bright and lively, the bouquet bursts open with zesty lime, silky panna cotta, golden honey and steeped black tea. Layers of beeswax, chalky minerality, ripe apricot and creamy white chocolate unfold, with gentle hints of hay and fresh strawberry adding a beautiful rustic lift.
PALATE
Vibrant and generous: classic key lime pie leads the way, followed by generous waves of black tea laced with warm cinnamon, juicy peach, smooth vanilla and more strawberry. A sensual, oily texture coats the tongue, turning every sip into pure indulgence.
FINISH
Long and harmonious. The black tea lingers gracefully through to the end, joined by toasted oak, sweet dried fig, vanilla pod and a final whisper of clove that leaves a clean, spiced warmth.
