air Nose
what’s funny is that even at a far more approachable strength, the basic building blocks are all still there. Farmyard, seashore, fabrics, minerals, petrol, stones, grass… Maybe we just have to accept that Bruichladdich have been making good whisky for quite a few years now. What’s different here is that this one is more fruity and a little greener and more playful. Still loads of putty, clay, minerals and a rather taut cereal profile. With water: drier, more animalistic, trampled leaves, melon, hessian, olive oil, seawater. Funny but very good
restaurant Palate
salty butter, almost oil, milk bottle sweets, clay, mineral oil, lime pith, hay, silage, white pepper. Totally idiosyncratic distillate that couldn’t really be from anywhere else. What I also rather enjoy is that it belongs entirely to contemporary era Bruichladdich. You won’t find anything like this from the pre-2001 batches. With water: works a treat with water. Leaps like a salmon as they say. Lots of grapefruit, peppery watercress, gooseberry and a rather tight grassiness. Oily, fatty cereals and chalky minerals
timer Finish
Long, drying, cereal and with a pretty assertive and brittle minerality
