Description

Bruichladdich X4+3 is an experimental, limited-edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, quadruple distilled and aged for 3 years. It was released in 2009, reviving an ancient technique of quadruple distillation from a 1695 recipe. The spirit was matured in a mix of traditional bourbon casks and specially commissioned virgin oak hogsheads. This unpeated whisky was distilled by Master Distiller Jim McEwan in 2006. It is bottled at a high strength of 63.5% ABV and is non-chill filtered. Only 15,000 bottles were released.

Nose
Incredibly clean, with lots of lemon and vanilla, orange, grapefruit, and pineapple. Big woody notes, vanilla ice cream, orange creamsicle, chocolate (milk and white), lemon coconut macaroons, pine sol, and a fresh spruce scent.
Palate
Enormous and almost overwhelming, with citrus fruit, rind and pith, tartness and tang. Grilled pineapple, wood, spice, sour ju-jubes, candied ginger, and a syrupy texture.
Finish
Medium length, clean, with fleeting citrus and lemon, and spicy notes.
