Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it’s unbelievable how as little as 5ppm of phenols can shine through after four unpeated whiskies! This is certainly ‘Portcharlottesque’ (‘cuse me), fresh, malty and pleasantly grainy, maybe not too complex but very clean and, indeed, maritime. Quite some peat smoke, liquorice wood, cold ashes, newly broken tree branches, ashes and green apples
restaurant Palate
once again, the peat is here and rather heavily so. Also apple compote, Szechuan pepper, ginger and plain pepper. It’s almost hot at 46%, let’s see what gives with a little water (which we almost never do with ‘middle strength ‘ whiskies). With water: ah, yes, the peat is a bit subdued now and we get more of Bruichladdich’s usual kind of fruitiness (melons, peaches, pears.)
timer Finish
long, big, rooty, earthy, peaty, with also notes of aniseed and a little fructose
