Bruichladdich Yellow Submarine III | 14 Year Old | 54.2% | 70cl | 25th Anniversary Limited Edition
One of whisky's most extraordinary origin stories — bottled for a third time. The Yellow Submarine is a Bruichladdich legend rooted in a real event: a Royal Navy yellow submarine was discovered by a pair of fishermen off the shores of Islay. When the Navy arrived at Bruichladdich Pier to collect their lost property, they were presented with a whisky inspired by the original recipe created for the occasion. This 25th anniversary limited edition III is the latest chapter in that tale — a 14-year-old Islay single malt matured in first-fill bourbon and French red wine casks, bottled at a full 54.2% ABV without compromise.

Tasting Notes
- Nose: Sweet honeyed oats and buttery shortbread open, underpinned by gentle cereal warmth. Lightly toasted hazelnuts and smooth praline intertwine with 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 — fresh orange zest adds vibrancy, followed by honeysuckle, orange blossom, 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 shores of Islay
- Finish: Long and lingering — layers of honeyed sweetness, gentle warming spice, and toasted hazelnut gradually unfold. The velvety, unctuous mouthfeel never wavers, leaving a decadent, moreish impression
About the Yellow Submarine Legend
The story is real. A Royal Navy yellow submarine went missing off the coast of Islay and was discovered by local fishermen. When the Navy dispatched a team to Bruichladdich Pier to retrieve it, the distillery marked the occasion with a special dram — and a legend was born. The Yellow Submarine series has been bottled three times now, each release celebrating Bruichladdich's 25 years back in production since 2001, and each one connecting the whisky to the island and its extraordinary community in a way that few releases anywhere in Scotland can match. The III is inspired by the original recipe, matured in a distinctive combination of bourbon and French red wine casks that adds a layer of fruit complexity to Bruichladdich's characteristic honeyed, coastal style.
