Nose Cream cheese, ripe apricots and icing sugar meet malty, charred and rooty undertones. Crystallised lime, a touch of coconut milk and candied orange emerge among warming ginger and acacia honey.
Palate A thick, rich sweet opening of toffee pennies, Seville marmalade and earthy vanilla is cut through by more warm spice and flickers of sea salt.
Finish White wine acidity is drying in a finish that almost leaves a salt rim on your tongue.
Overall A great example of how to utilise a Sauternes cask and deliver unpeated Bruichladdich brilliance.
