On the nose, you’ll get a wonderful aroma of orchard fruits (red apples & pears), salt, barley, floral notes, toffee, sugar, vanilla and butterscotch.
The palate is viscous and rich, you’ll get wonderful custard notes, burnt toffee, boiled apples, floral notes and syrup … absolutely wonderful. The finish is long with salt and citrus notes.
This is a very interesting and high quality single malt from Bruichladdich. It’s rich, intense and complex. Highly recommended.
