Bruichladdich
Scotland
Single Malt
Introduced as the flagship Port Charlotte expression produced by Bruichladdich in 2018, this 10 year old single malt from the Isle of Islay is a lip-smackingly smoky number indeed. It's peated to 40ppm, and drawn from a combination of first-fill American whiskey casks, second-fill American whiskey casks and second-fill French wine casks.
Salted caramel brownie, flamed orange peel, a hearty whack of seaweed.
Oak-y smoke and salty sea air, paired with sweeter notes of Custard Cream biscuits and white grape.
Ginger snaps, rye toast, drying peat smokiness.
I really enjoy the Islay Malts; Laphroaig, Ardbeg, and Lagavulin are absolutely incredible but when the Port Charlotte distillery temporarily reopened in the first part of 2010's I couldn't wait to try a bottle. I finally got a chance, this is a dram that is not to be toyed with, the flavor is incredible and at 50% it'll make you blush. Enjoy.
Nose is smoky, briny, maritime, I'm reminded of oysters on salt crackers. Tastes starts with pepper and smoke, hints of vanilla sweetness, it's a bit hot but not overpowering. Nice long finish, medium mouth-feel, vanilla, oak, and smoke. Enjoying this so much.
Om nom nom.
Great Islay whisky. Great balance between smoke, sweetness and medicinal notes. Not as briney as Lagavulin 16, not as much iodine as Laphroig, not as Smokey as Octomore. Smooth despite the 50% abv. Tiniest bit of water changes the dram and pulls through the sweeter flavours. Buy it, enjoy it.
Got this for my birthday. Can’t think of a better present!
