Bruichladdich Yellow Submarine [Reclassified] Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

** LIMIT ONE BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER **

DISTILLERY NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “The return of a Bruichladdich legend, Yellow Submarine [Reclassified] is a limited release to celebrate our 25th anniversary and the submersible still standing proudly in the distillery grounds today. 

The story of the Yellow Submarine started 20 years ago when Islay fisherman, John Baker and Harold Hastie, spotted a remote-controlled submersible off the coast of the distillery shores. The submarine was brought back to Bruichladdich and stored for safekeeping until the Ministry of Defence came to collect their lost property. Marking the submarine’s safe return, the distillery team gifted a bottle of the aptly named Yellow Submarine to the men who retrieved it.

Bruichladdich Yellow Submarine [Reclassified] is the latest iteration of the cult classic, following releases in 2005 and 2018. A reimagining of this original release, Yellow Submarine [Reclassified] is once again bottled at 14 years old. This time matured in a precise mix of quality first fill bourbon barrels, and Bordeaux red wine casks.”

TASTING: “The latest release in this iconic series opens opens with notes of crème brûlée, toasted hazelnut and warming nutmeg punctuated with fresh citrus and a hint of sea salt. 

APPEARANCE - Sunlit barley

NOSE - Sweet, honeyed oats and buttery shortbread open on the nose, underpinned by a gentle cereal warmth. Notes of lightly toasted hazelnuts and smooth praline intertwine with a dusting of nutmeg, revealing a rich, syrupy sweetness reminiscent of pistachio baklava. Pink peppercorns and a hint of ginger punctuate the sweetness, before mellowing into warming spice

PALATE - Luxuriously smooth in texture, a hint of fresh orange zest adds vibrancy and brightness. Delicate waves of honeysuckle and orange blossom follow, complemented with crisp apple and succulent pear. Creamy crème brûlée brings richness and depth, with golden heather and a hint of sea salt transporting you to the rugged, windswept shores of Islay

FINISH - Long and lingering, layers of honeyed sweetness, gentle warming spice, and toasted hazelnut gradually unfold. The whisky’s velvety, unctuous mouthfeel never wavers, leaving a decadent, moreish impression with every sip."
