Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Fruity and malty. Lemon syllabub. Fresh leather. Demerara sugar. Apple pie. A touch of tangerine. Breath of grass.

Palate: Crisp, firm. But a sweet luscious start. Quite thick on the tongue. Mouthcoating. Pear poached in a vanilla syrup.

Finish: Long, nutty spicy.

Comment: Alcohol is perfectly tamed. No burn or tang. A cheery dram for a sunny afternoon.

Score: 8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Sweet. Reminiscent of throat sweets, then nettle cordial and macaroons before the smoke begins to drift out. Light seashore aromas.

Palate: Burst of phenols to start, then parma violet. Concentrated and lightly perfumed. Hint of lavender. Silky and smooth with excellent length.

Finish: Ever lasting mixing smoke and vanilla.

Comment: A blend of lightly peated older laddie and some new heavily peated Port Charlotte it is typical for Islay, but atypical for Bruichladdich.

Score: 9
