BRUICHLADDICHOCTOMORE X4+18 EDITION 01 63.5% 700ML ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

The first of its kind — a single malt Scotch whisky distilled four times and matured on Islay for 18 years – X4+18 embodies Bruichladdich’s boundary-pushing outlook and enduring patience. The higher ABV, combined with the quiet passing of time yields a refined, gentle and fruit-laden character: muscovado sugar and honeyed pastry mingle with jammy fruits, mixed spice, and dry toasted oak. A SPIRIT LIKE NO OTHER “Quadruple distillation is almost unheard of in whisky. Some Irish distillers and a handful of Scotch producers triple distil to achieve a lighter, smoother character – but we believe we’re the only distillery to have bottled a whisky distilled four times and brought it to market. We’re incredibly proud of the result.” A daring experiment, X4+18 Edition 01 pushes boundaries as the world’s first quadruple distilled 18-year-old single malt Scotch whisky, truly embodying Bruichladdich’s experimental nature. Undergoing the distillation process four times, double what is typical, each process slow and patient, with the tall, narrow necked spirit stills producing a light and delicate spirit. Off the stills at 85% ABV before being laid in cask, bottled 18-years later at 63.5% ABV, X4+18 has a much higher ABV than typical whiskies (40-45% ABV). The higher ABV, combined with the quiet passing of time yields a refined, gentle and fruit-laden character with notes of dried apricot and sweet mango. Fully distilled, matured, and bottled on Islay, X4+18 Edition 01 delivers a surprisingly gentle complexity, proving innovation can go hand-in-hand with elegance and exceptional flavour. The vibrant label features four abstract geometric shapes representing the whisky’s journey through the stills. TASTING NOTES colour Sunset Orange. nose Dried apricot and sweet mango open on the nose, balanced with mellow toasted oak and creamy coconut. Muscovado sugar and honeyed pastry combine with layers of subtle spice, followed with notes of caramel, vanilla fudge and toasted Brazil nuts. palate Beautifully rounded and smooth in texture, a wave of sweetness washes across the palate. With a gentle yet undeniably powerful presence, rich, jammy fruit notes mingle with dry toasted oak. The earthy richness of Brazil nuts adds depth and complexity, with rich Christmas cake, dried fruits and citrus marmalade bringing a subtle warmth. finish Succulent dried fruits and mellow oak add a beautiful warmth to the finish, as the sweetness of stewed fruits linger.
