Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

it’s not grapey and certainly not Cognacqy at first nosing and it’s got all of Bruichladdich’s usual freshness. Melons and peaches plus various fruit stems and leaves (or the teas made thereof), then more nectar and plum pie (tarte aux mirabelles). Also a little grass and candy sugar

restaurant Palate

once again, very little Cognac but maybe a few spicy notes that hint at French oak indeed, that is to say some green curry and ginger. Other than that, there’s quite some lemon grass, melon again, tangerines, bitter oranges and these notes of herbal teas again, maybe around cherry stems. It’s globally quite grassy and I think it’s the French oak that’s talking. Grape stalk?

timer Finish

medium long, grassy and slightly salty. More candy sugar in the aftertaste
