Wine Cask
Smoky sweetness galore here from Bruichladdich! This bottling of its heavily peated Port Charlotte single malt Scotch whisky was matured in a combination of sherry butts and American oak casks, and also enjoying a finishing period in Sauternes wine casks! Notorious for being deliciously sweet, the dessert wine has imparted some of those vibrant fruit notes to the smoky whisky, making for a particularly glorious sip!
Peach, candied grapes, fresh linen, roasted nuts, a slow build of dusty oak and earthy, mossy hints.
Stem ginger, smoked almonds, cassia, orange peel, brown sugar, sultana, and red chilli flake.
Vanilla pod and a touch of cigar box.
This is the best whiskies i have ever tasted! Finally found a one of a kind whisky that i can see myself buying all the time now. Never thought i'd find one as good as this. If you like peat and a higher % then give this a whirl. Sensational
Absolutely delicious. Perfect balance of smoke and sweet. Molasses and honeycomb on the nose, vanilla and orange and seaweed on the palate. One of the best whiskies I've ever had, hands down. Magic.
