Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it is a much more mineral Bruichladdich, more austere, with whiffs of concrete after the rain and almonds, before more oranges and, indeed, melons and raisins appear. There’s also a little rubber and a drop of seawater, perhaps, orange blossom, a touch of fresh putty… All that is actually rather complex, but probably a little shy. Shier than the 1979 on the nose, for sure
restaurant Palate
sweeter and fruitier. Plenty of… guess what? That’s right, melons, as well as honey and a little Muscat wine. That would be small berry Muscat, not the slightly vulgar ‘big’ ones. There’s also a touch or rubber again, quinine tonic, a very wee touch of plastic and then more marzipan and other almondy things. The body’s bigger than the nose suggested
timer Finish
not too long but fruitier and juicier. Jelly babies and Fanta. Oh and melons and Muscat
