Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
and this sweet custardy and lemony oak does feel a bit, but balance has been found and I wouldn’t call this ‘vulgarly over-oaked’. Sure there’s a little green sawdust and damp tealeaves (or old teapot), but I’m also finding Bruichladdich’s usual melons and tangerines. Also a little eucalyptus, that may be the virgin oak as well. Orange sweets. With water: planks and a little soap, which tends to go away. Doesn’t seem to swim too well
restaurant Palate
the oak feels more, with some ginger, sawdust, white pepper, and really a lot of nutmeg. That’s a little too much for me, especially given that the distillate’s relatively light, even if that’s part of the original ‘lightly peated batches’. Around 8ppm if I remember well. With water: same feelings, the oak’s a little too obvious for me, and did not quite have enough time to mingle with the spirit. A lot of cinnamon
timer Finish
relatively short, with a green tannicity
