Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a coppery glow and a honeyed, sunlit patina.

Nose

Sumptuous aromas of butterscotch and maple syrup mingle with ripe melon, delicate florals and candied almond, all wrapped in vanilla and cinnamon. With time, mandarin zest and sherbet lift the bouquet, adding a bright, citrusy edge to the aromatic richness.

Palate

Mellow and magical on the palate, with toasted oak, fudge, lime and grapefruit, and a lingering, lip-smacking finish.

Finish

A lingering, lip smacking finish.

Bruichladdich
(brook-LADDIE) Bruichladdich distillery is the home of four different malts: the unpeated Bruichladdich, the heavily peated Port Charlotte, the even more peated (and rarely seen) Lochindaal and the super heavily peated Octomore. The distillery was built in 1881 by the Harvey Brothers and at the time it was viewed as a very modern establishment.  It is situated in The Rhinns, in the west of the island, overlooking Loch Indaal. It ran under a succession of different owners including Whyte and Mackay and Murray McDavid before being purchased by Remy Cointreau in 2012.
