Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 꿀과 바닐라, 멜론 같은 신선한 과실 위로 볼게리 와인 캐스크가 더한 은은한 붉은 과실 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 브룩라디 14년은 프렌치 오크의 영향을 절제 있게 담아 46도에서 과실과 오크의 균형을 명확하게 드러낸다. 팰럿에서는 부드러운 토피와 바닐라, 캐러멜라이즈드 사과에 육두구가 층을 이룬다. 피니시는 구운 빵과 은은한 와인 뉘앙스가 중간 길이로 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
strawberry jam
air Nose
honey, vanilla and fresh fruit (melon) with whiffs of wine. Not too many winey notes in fact, much less than I’d have expected. Hints of red fruits developing after a while, together with some fine oak. Quite nice!
restaurant Palate
smooth, quite creamy and toffeeish. A little woody, with vanilla and ripe fruits, caramelized apple. Gets a little spicy (nutmeg) with just, yes, a few spicy wine notes that don’t overwhelm, but rather underline the malt. Medium long finish, on toasted bread. A very good Bruichladdich, even if not as stellar as the 20 yo ‘first edition’. But the latter had some enemies too ;-) 86 points . Bruichladdich 3D ‘The Peat Proposal’ (46%, OB, 2004) This one is technically a 3 yo as it’s a vatting of three different runs: some 15 yo peated at 8 ppm, some 6 yo peated at 25 ppm - an Invergordon run, I guess - and some 3 yo Port Chalotte, peated at 40ppm
