gold
air Nose
it's a bit more yeasty than others, with a slight smokiness reminiscent of the very first batches after the reopening, which were having a slight peatiness. But did they continue that until 2004? I can't remember... Ouch! Otherwise, we have the classic melon, blood orange, a hint of seawater, fresh almonds, brioche dough, and it's all rather perfect. It even reminds me a bit of the 1970 and 1971 releases they did after the takeover. What whiskies! With water: even more fresh brioche, perhaps a bit of French toast, orange blossom, gazelle horns... And a bit of smoke. Coal stove

it's really, really good, with melon coming through incredibly well. We'll add some Mandarine Napoléon and cassata, as well as candied fruits, angelica... With water: some fruit peels add a more herbaceous side. Also some orange
timer Finish
medium length, quite oily for Bruichladdich, with notes of orange, marmalade, and once again, fresh brioche. Melon brioche, can you make that?
