Description

Mothballed by previous owners Whyte & Mackay, Bruichladdich distillery was revived in the year 2000 by independent bottler Murray McDavid. For a long time the distillery was the black sheep of Islay, on account of producing unpeated whisky in order to meet its owner's blending requirements.

Nose
The nose opens with some plums, slightly burnt croissants, and hints of a berry turnover. Giving it some air and time we're getting a note of strudel complete with apple, raisin and cinnamon. Finally there's some ice cream made with thick whipped double cream.
Palate
Initially there's a sweet note of caramelised fig, some burnt butter and a little dark chocolate. It's got a spicy finish with a little sweetness that fades into chill heat. Going back to it and there's some raisins, vanilla, and tobacco. It has a good mouthfeel.
Finish
It's got a spicy finish with a little sweetness that fades into chill heat. We're getting notes of cinnamon and chilli on the finish, and with them a little fruit.
