Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s a rather delicate one, that does have the traits of the early 1970s, such as some slightly jammy melon again (orange melon from Cavaillon), touches of plums, a little beeswax, hints of Muscat, perhaps… Also apricots and a wee touch of gingerbread. What’s really remarkable here is that it’s 100% old Bruichladdich, so instantly recognisable, probably thanks to a lovely and shy-ish hogshead
restaurant Palate
same feeling, this is unmistakably 1970s Bruichladdich, with melons, plums and all that, plus this mild coastalness that adds a touch of salt. Tends to become a little gritty/grassy after a while, with some green tea as well, chewing leaves (especially cherry leaves)… If I had to find a small flaw in this baby, that would be it
timer Finish
a little short, grassy… But fresh melon remains in the aftertaste, which is nice (and very Bruichladdich). Also oranges
