Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice Bruichladdich 1988 is an exceptional 35-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from the Bruichladdich Distillery on Scotland's Isle of Islay. Distilled on October 25, 1988, and bottled on May 20, 2024, this rare expression matured in refill American oak hogshead #1961 before being bottled at 51.2% ABV. With only 117 bottles released, it offers a distinctive opportunity to explore the elegance and complexity of long-aged Bruichladdich, combining mature oak influence with the distillery's characteristic fruit-forward and coastal style.
Food Pairing: Seared scallops, roasted lobster, aged Comté, grilled white fish, toasted almonds, citrus tart, and white chocolate.
Tasting Notes: An elegant, mature Islay single malt displaying bright citrus, ripe stone fruit, tropical sweetness, gentle oak, toasted nuts, and subtle coastal freshness.
Nose: Fragrant lime zest, freshly cut grass, toasted almonds, delicate vanilla, and soft mature oak.
Palate: Sweet nectarine and ripe mango mingle with roasted peanuts, gentle charred oak, citrus peel, and delicate warming spice.
Finish: Long and refined, with lingering citrus, toasted oak, subtle nuttiness, and a warming touch of spice.
