Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
very smoky and fruity. Rather maritime. Lots of white fruits… Gets also a little farmy (hay) and quite sulphury
restaurant Palate
quite powerful! Nice peat, apples, peaches, apricots… White pepper. Not much else but again, it’s quite enjoyable. 80 points . Laphroaig ‘Bloodtub Valinch’ 1988/2005 (54.9%, Murray McDavid, sherry cask #9204) There are now a few non-Bruichladdich small casks ('boodtubs') available at the distillerie, where you can fill your own 50cl bottle - but these small casks aren't really used for maturation, I think. This one is an excellent and unusual sherried Laphroaig, bold, powerful and sweet at the same time. Not overly complex but very compact and satisfying. Lots of cooked fruits and a bit of toffee plus, of course, the usual big peat smoke. Very, very nice. 89 points . MUSIC – Highly recommended listening: ah, after Damien Rice, Rufus Wainwright and The Postal Service, something quite new and interesting, finally. It's Andrew Morgan doing This awful room.mp3 . Pretty excellent, with something from the early Pink Floyd and an eatheral singing... Really atmospheric! Aligned.mp3 is another fantastic piece. Please buy Andrew Morgan's music if you like it. I think his CD ' Misadventures in Radiology' is an absolute must. June 13, 2005 TASTING - THREE BRAND NEW BRUICHLADDICHS Bruichladdich Fifteen ‘Second Edition’ (50%, OB, Chateau d’Yquem finish, 2005)
