| PEAT ISLAY SINGLE MALT |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BRUICHLADDICH |
| Bright light orange amber colour. Intense, slightly sweet, caramel driven, gently smoky, cooked plum-apple nose. Intense, medium-full bodied, fairly extracty and yet harmonious, spicy, faintly sweet, caramel-plum flavours with a lingering, slightly bitter finish. Not as impressive as when it last appeared in Vintages (**+/***) on April 17, 2010 at $74.95 and was Recommended/Best Buy. |

The lively, zesty, lemony ‘core’ characteristics of Bruichladdich interact nicely with powerful, sweet peat notes on the nose. The palate yields a lovely balance of sweet, spicy pears and vanilla with peat which lacks the medicinal notes usually associated with Islay ...Score - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5). (Gavin D.
