About this bottle

Bruichladdich 18 Year Old — Re/Define Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a single malt Scotch whisky from Scotland made by Bruichladdich. It is bottled at 50% ABV, carrying a 18-year age statement, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the 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 fore, with melon, peaches, apricot, and vibrant citrus, while the influence of the oak brings honey, caramel vanilla custard and rich crème brûlée; on the 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.

Serving & pairing

Serve neat with a few drops of water to open the aromas. Lighter styles suit smoked salmon and shortbread; peated styles suit blue cheese and oysters.

Single malt or blended Scotch?

Single malt means one distillery, 100% malted barley, pot stills. Blended Scotch mixes malt whisky from several distilleries with lighter grain whisky, aiming for consistency and approachability. Blended malt (no grain whisky) sits between the two. Neither is inherently better; single malts show one distillery’s character while good blends show balance.

Birthday gift

Quick to order. Worth the wait.

“Checkout at Spirit Hives took a minute. The bottle itself took a little longer than a supermarket run. I ordered ahead for my brother's birthday and it arrived in time.”
Derek C.Ordered in advance
Collector order

Patient, and then very pleased.

“If you need a bottle tomorrow, this is not that shop. If you want something Spirit Hives actually has and you can wait a stretch, it works. Mine turned up and it was exactly the label I wanted.”
James R.Hard-to-find Scotch
Corporate gifts

Forty gifts, one conversation.

“Corporate bottles for clients. Spirit Hives suggested three price bands, one invoice, and the labels were consistent. Several clients asked where they came from.”
Tom H.40 bottles
First Scotch

Peat without the leap of faith.

“I wanted Islay without buying a wall of smoke. The tasting notes on Spirit Hives pointed to a gentler malt. It opened a door instead of slamming one.”
