Bruichladdich X4+18 Edition 01
£225.00 63.5% ALC./VOL.
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.
