A very surprisingly Islay dram but very typical of 1960s Bruichladdich, a delicate and enjoyable fruitbomb! Would definitely have loved it more if there were some smoky notes!

Cadenhead Authentic Collection Bruichladdich 1968 1993 25 Years Old 53,8%

06 August 2026
91

A very surprisingly Islay dram but very typical of 1960s Bruichladdich, a delicate and enjoyable fruitbomb! Would definitely have loved it more if there were some smoky notes!

Nose

Orchard fruits, yogurts, sweet, zesty, slightly menthol, slightly floral/grassy, a very delicate nose, the Greek yogurt smell definitely stands out!

Body

Definitely an Islay fruit bomb with no signs of smoke, slightly sour (almost yogurt-like), strawberry-like, grassy, herbal, gets progressively sweeter towards the end

Finish

Long dry finish, slightly spicy & hot on the tongue but nothing overwhelming, sticky strawberry jams
