“The first bottling was an absolute perfect dram. Unfortunately the second bottljbg was more of a marketing follow up and did not live up to its predecessor.”

crazy!, absolutely stunning!,

as i started nosing it, i slowly moved my nose away and for a split second all i could smell was sauternes!, it smells so sweet, fresh, honeysuckle, ripe summer fruits, the sauternes really stands out, especially if your a sauternes lover like me, it tastes amazing, i love bruichladdich and here they have really made something special, the sauternes again stands out, especially on the finish, you get the almost dryness from sauternes on the back of your tongue and it last a long time, taste of fresh fruit, tropical fruit, english plums in season, nice ripe and sweet, wonderful stuff and ill be buying another bottle!,

Terrible

I expected some sweet or deep flavor notes given the aging barrels, but all I found was a bitter grappa-esque sourness that came and went quick. A terrible dram.

This is the mitological nectar of the gods. Just sip it savouring every aroma you can.
