Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
typical, with fresh broken branches, sea air, grape pip oil, melon skin, some stearin, fresh cut grass, green apples… Certainly a little austere, but I believe that is an asset here. Water may/should unleash the melons… With water: vanilla, then popcorn, then mirabelles and quinces, then indeed, honeydew melon
restaurant Palate
a typically fruity, orchardy Bruichladdich, but once again there's rather a lot of grass and peelings. Green apples, pears, greengages… With water: gone is the main grass, welcome more apples and sweet roots, apricot liqueur (apricotine) and just a drop of bison vodka. A pretty pure Bruichladdich that's not very far from the earlier makes, say distilled in the early 1990s
timer Finish
medium, clean, half-way between plums and vegetal oils
