Tasting notes:
Nose: Beautifully fragrant, ripe orchard fruits, toasted oak and floral notes open on the nose. Fresh lemon rind and citrus orange complement the marine quality of the spirit, with a gentle hint of warm sand a reminder of the whiskyโs island origins. A medley of sundried fruits blends seamlessly with the oak, with fresh apricot, mango and ripe peach coming to the fore. The oak brings notes of vanilla, crรจme brรปlรฉe and a hint of toffee, with a subtle touch of warm gingerbread.
Palate: Incredibly smooth and rounded in texture, sweet orange citrus, candied peel, and stone fruits are balanced with malt barley sugar and toasted bread. The oak brings warmth and complexity, with notes of marzipan, coconut, ground almonds and cedar. Ripe orchard fruits bring a fresh succulence to the palate, with delicate floral notes of geranium and rose punctuating the slight salty tang.
Finish: Bruichladdichโs signature character shines on the finish. The spiritโs subtle minerality is beautifully balanced with a delicate floral perfume, with lingering notes of ripe stone fruits and citrus.
