Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
the good news is that there's a very familiar 'freshness' that I find characterises modern Bruichladdich and it's on display here front and centre. So rather a lot of ripe green fruits, some softer coastal tones, sea air and even some lighter medicinal aspects such as bandages. In time there's a little more peppery heat which feels like it's coming from the wood, but no complaints here. With water: a lovely and generous fruitiness now with water, overripe green fruits, fruit salad juices and a style that feels almost closer to that of 70s Bruichladdich
restaurant Palate
the wood is more grippy on arrival in the mouth but it's nicely balanced with the enjoyably fat and gloopy distillate. Some notes of melon, olive oil, pollens, sandalwood, banana chips, hessian. Pulls in quite a few directions, but it still feels nicely 'Bruichladdich'. With water: again, rather fruit forward with hints of mango, limoncello in tonic water and some touches of lanolin and white pepper
timer Finish
medium, a little drier, more peppery and still nicely fresh
