Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
extremely clean, crystal-clear peat with also a little kirsch, fresh milk and smoked mashed grains. Gets grassier and farmier after that, certainly less wham-bam than the PC5 and that’s not only the different ABVs. Kind of domesticated
restaurant Palate
sweeter but also closer to newmake than the PC5 was. Lots of pear juice, a little quince, liquorice sticks, gentiane spirit, porridge… And then it’s back to pears, with quite some peat but certainly less than in any young Ardbeg, Laphroaig or Lagavulin. Smoked pears, anyone?
timer Finish
not too long, still smoky and pear-ish, getting slightly resinous. Well, it’s like if reducing this one with water had sort of subdued it too much. But it’s still excellent whisky that reminds me a lot of the peated Connemaras. Now, it’s true that Bruichladdich is very close to Ireland. 80 points .
