Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
wow, what a nice and delicate peat! Rather medicinal and quite waxy, with some whiffs of camphor. Notes of tea, leather and tobacco… Really complex and highly enjoyable, not weak at all at 40%
restaurant Palate
again, a superb balance. Lots of honey, menthol, propolis and smoke, with a layer of crystallised fruits and orange marmalade. Not too powerful but again, highly enjoyable. 90 points . MUSIC – JAZZ - Recommended listening - Something light and charming for a change: Anita O'Day sings a beautiful Little girl blue - mp3 . Refreshing, eh? Please buy Mrs O'Day music if you like it, she's still kicking! May 13, 2005 TASTING – TWO BRUICHLADDICHS Bruichladdich ‘3D’ 2nd batch (50%, OB, 2005) The first edition was extremely successful and sold within a short period of time. This batch is larger, and also bottled at a higher strength. It contains more Port Charlotte and less of the peated batches made in 1998 by the former owners, using some malt that had been made for Bowmore at Port Ellen (if any). The nose is fresher, and also more balanced than batch #1. Very nutty and waxy, with a bit of tropical fruits. The peat smoke is quite delicate, yet very present. Very, very nice… superb balance with a very nice peat and lots of lemony notes (grapefruit juice). Very clean and rather delicate, but with quite some body. High pleasure! 88 points (86 for the first batch). Bruichladdich 1964/1996 (43%, Samaroli, cask #3611)
