Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
Bruichladdich had dropped peat just four or five years earlier, and you would swear there was still some in the pipes when nosing this wonderful malt. It’s earthier and fatter than modern distillates, probably more herbal too, and it’s shock full of aromas from the woods, such as pine needles, damp moss and earth, old branches, autumn leaves (coming soon), mushrooms, fern… On top of all that, some lovely camphor, which just always works. Also a little earthy sherry, walnuts, tobacco, miso, rancio… With water: stunning. Bandages, tobacco, leather, mushrooms, walnuts, and a gazillion tinier aromas, all around herbs and woods
restaurant Palate
oh crikey! Marzipan, old walnuts, stout, carbonnade, concentrated prune juice (a must in the old days), rancio, madder Armagnac (Ténarèze), wood extracts, walnut stain... Should you try this blind, you’d believe the whisky’s as black as ebony, while it’s just golden. With water: citrus getting in on the act. Pink grapefruits and blood oranges
timer Finish
long, soothing, perfect, rich, extremely satisfying and, which is bad for your wallet, moreish
