Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

this reminds me that sherry’s a white wine, and that it’s Bruichladdich. Melons, peaches, yellow plums and sea air, anyone? With water: some custard to add

restaurant Palate

it’s much tighter than your average sherried whisky, the only flavour that’s clearly ex-sherry are the walnuts. Other than that, we find some very lovely plums again, melons, peaches, prickly pears, and in the background, touches of mocha. All that works perfectly well. With water: citrus up. I mean, it’s more citrusy than other ‘laddichs, where does that come from?

timer Finish

medium, fresh, bright, citrusy, and only mildly spicy. The sherry left on tiptoe
