The Bruichladdich 2003 Private Cask Bottling is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky, matured for 18 years in a first-fill bourbon cask. Distilled on May 25, 2003, and bottled on July 26, 2022, this whisky is a testament to Bruichladdich's pursuit of excellence and innovation. With an ABV of 58.9%, this cask strength whisky is both powerful and elegant. The nose reveals an initial softness with a hint of spice, leading to notes of hay, roasted oak, almond, and hazelnut. Rich fruit aromas of ripe banana and guava follow, creating a well-balanced bouquet that is not overly sweet. On the palate, this whisky is full-bodied and opulent, with flavors of hazelnut, mild coffee, beeswax, salted butter, and fresh bread. The finish is long and satisfying, with a gentle warmth and lingering notes of fudge and softer caramel. This limited release of only 190 bottles is a true collector's item and a must-have for connoisseurs.
