Description

Mothballed by previous owners Whyte & Mackay, Bruichladdich distillery was revived in the year 2000 by independent bottler Murray McDavid.

Nose
Nutty nougat, cherries, applewood smoke, pine resin and Lilt. Subtle salinity.

Finish
Rich tobacco again, now with cedar and a whisper of pineapple.
