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.

A young vibrant whiskey, non-chill filtered, no added color, and bottled at 50%. Sweet barley sugar, caramelized sugar, honey, grain, and floral aromatics on the nose. Same barley and honey sweetness on the palate with slight smoke and coastal notes into the finish. This is a young and potent whiskey, but one that utilizes very high quality ingredients and offers a craft presentation.
Smooth and easy to drink. Smoky flavour integrated well with the rest of the notes
I read so many negative reviews I had to revisit mine am a.definite Islay whisky fan and this though milder than say the Charlotte offers so much I love variety I never have the same whisky on the same night I always alternate on the same evening I find it better to contemplate what each seperate whisky offers...I loved this version its roughness ,its saltiness and the long satisfying aftertaste....dont listen to reviewers too much,make up your own mind!
This was stated on the label to be "The Classic Bruichladdich". Now, I remember the Classic Bruichladdich from the 1970s and 1980s, and it was a silky, elegant, lightly peated, but still assertive Islay malt - unlike the heavy-duty creosote of most of the Islay offerings. It was up there with Scapa and Highland Park in complexity of flavour. This stuff is so rough on the palate that you have to add water and, once you do that, so uninteresting, that for once I can understand why the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission has delisted a malt. The lurid swimming-pool-aqua-blue bottle should have been a warning, but it was $20 off ($40 off would have been more like a fair price). There are now so many Bruichladdich varieties that you can no longer tell which one is the one that made the distillery's reputation. Get back to the real thing, guys.
Open her up with a touch of water. It gets better.
