Tasting Notes

Colour

strawberry jam

air Nose

honey, vanilla and fresh fruit (melon) with whiffs of wine. Not too many winey notes in fact, much less than I’d have expected. Hints of red fruits developing after a while, together with some fine oak. Quite nice!

restaurant Palate

smooth, quite creamy and toffeeish. A little woody, with vanilla and ripe fruits, caramelized apple. Gets a little spicy (nutmeg) with just, yes, a few spicy wine notes that don’t overwhelm, but rather underline the malt. Medium long finish, on toasted bread. A very good Bruichladdich, even if not as stellar as the 20 yo ‘first edition’. But the latter had some enemies too ;-) 86 points . Bruichladdich 3D ‘The Peat Proposal’ (46%, OB, 2004) This one is technically a 3 yo as it’s a vatting of three different runs: some 15 yo peated at 8 ppm, some 6 yo peated at 25 ppm - an Invergordon run, I guess - and some 3 yo Port Chalotte, peated at 40ppm
