Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
this one is very different from the Mayflower, much more ‘Bruichladdich’ as we know it that is to say fresher, more ‘coastal’ and with more fresh fruits such as melons and peaches as well as hints of pine resin this time. Yet, there are some similarities such as these notes of old wine that may come from the Le Pin casks and these faint whiffs of wood smoke. No ‘winey’ notes, though, rather a globally very elegant and finely honeyed nose. Very complex! Hints of marshmallows and liquorice allsorts coming through after 15 minutes. Merlot!?
restaurant Palate
there’s more wood in the attack, with a greenness (strong green tea, cinnamon), some mint and even notes of cough syrup but unexpectedly, it’s the fruity part that takes over whereas it’s usually the opposite that happens. Melon compote, tinned peaches, light honey, Turkish delights and wine-poached pears. Then the tannins come back, together with a lot of cinnamon and white pepper
timer Finish
rather long, with a lot of cinnamon once again. Peppermint in the aftertaste
