Minutia: Distilled in 2010 and matured in American oak casks for 8 years and bottled in early April 2019. Reviewed blind, neat in an opaque glencairn.
Color: Yellow gold; 0.5.
Nose: Musty berries, orange, malt. Cream. Light anise. Putty.
Taste: Malt and honey. Slight pepper.
Finish: Same as the taste. Medium.
Guess: Laddie Bere Barley, maybe and IB
This was too easy to guess, as it didn’t seem like Bunnahabhain and other than that Bruichladdich is just about the only unpeated malt likely to be in my sample inventory. The nose was very promising and I like what I smelled and how much I smelled. Unfortunately not much of that came through on the palate and it was mostly just malty. If you like that, you’ll really like this. As I’ve grown to appreciate that, I liked it more than I would have, but unfortunately I found the palate a bit boring.
Score: 75
