Bruichladdich Yellow Submarine III is a 14-year-old unpeated single malt inspired by the real 2005 discovery of a yellow Ministry of Defence submarine off Islay's coast. Only 12,000 bottles were released to mark the distillery's 25th anniversary.

Bruichladdich Known as the "Progressive Hebridean Distillers" Bruichladdich is fiercely independent, non-conformist, and rooted in terroir. Every drop is distilled, matured, and bottled on Islay using 100% Scottish barley, giving its whisky a signature salt-citrus tang.

Matured in 75% first-fill bourbon and 25% French red wine casks at 54.2% ABV, it delivers notes of honeyed oats, crème brûlée, and sea salt.

Colour: Sunlit barley colour

Nose: Sweet, honeyed oats and buttery shortbread open on the nose, underpinned by a gentle cereal warmth

Palate: Luxuriously smooth in texture, a hint of fresh orange zest adds vibrancy and brightness.

Finish: Long and lingering, layers of honeyed sweetness, gentle warming spice, and toasted hazelnut gradually unfold.
