Bruichladdich
Scotland
Single Malt
Bruichladdich's flagship unpeated single malt release, made with 100% Scottish barley. It's also bottled at a hearty 50% ABV, which is a chunk higher than equivalent releases from almost any other distillery (usually 40-46%). This bottling strength is said to help bring the barley notes to the fore. Head Distiller Adam Hannett works with an ever-increasing range of casks aged alongside Lochindaal as well as changing profiles and varieties of carefully traced barley to put together a refreshing whisky with the signature fruity and floral Bruichladdich house style.
Elegantly sweet with honey'd barley, boiled sweets and orange petals. Wafts of sea air.
Red apples and white grapes, with touches of sweet cinnamon and brown sugar. Still softly coastal.
Mineral-rich malt, with toffee and more honey.

My bottle is excellent..there is a code on the back you can enter on their website and find out about your batch. It is not meant to be the same batch after batch...go get a johnny walker if you want that... Mine had 8 year as the youngest used 11 different cask types and is a delicious product..non chill filtered..no coloring added...no wonder one review was upset it was so young due to color...he only drinks the cold filtered dyed crap... I love the 50% ABV...can add a touch of water if you prefer or an ice cube.. What is great about it is you can try a non peated Islay and then compare it to a peated Islay and smell and taste notes you thought were peat but are actually not peat at all...the sea air...something...not peat.. Next, I am buying Port Charlotte.. Cheers from Cambodia
It appears the 2016-17 reviews were not keen but since then things have improved. Is the whisky genuinely better now or are the reviewers a different? (I do like this whisky btw, and the Port Charlotte 10 is very good too)
Bruichladdich just seem to me to have the cleanest most invigorating flavoured whiskies - fresh
Dancing complexity on the palate with sweetness and satisfying finish. Sipped this all afternoon by a fire and never was wanting a peated malt. Now one of my favorites. —a long time lover of single malts who lived in Scotland.
We had never heard of Bruichladdich until we watched the "Scotch: The Golden Dream" documentary on a long airline flight. Months later it appeared on the drink menu at Richard's fine restaurant in Boise, Idaho. The first sip sold us on our new favorite single malt. We bought what may have been the last bottle in the state, and relished every last drop. Don't know what the obstacle is to shipping to us here in the colonies, but we eagerly await its resolution. Truly, nectar of the gods.
