Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

a tad buttery and custardy at first, but gets then superbly mineral and sooty, and I wouldn’t have told you it was Bruichladdich. Unless we’d have remembered that the first batches after the reopening had been pretty peaty (8ppm if I remember well)… Notes of bandages, old hessian, iodine… With water: that walk in the rain and on some Islay beach. You know what I mean. Kelp, floated wood, gasoline…

restaurant Palate

a tad easy at first, and then massive, punchy, citric and smoky. Not your average Bruichladdich for sure, we’d even call it PC-y. Oh well… The peppery side’s getting huge after just thirty seconds. With water: rounder and fruitier again. Smoked tangerines, chlorophyll gums, one bit of mango

timer Finish

long, more citrusy again. Lime juice and crushed chalk, plus some greener spices. Cardamom?
