Tasting Notes

BRUICHLADDICH BLACK ART 9.1 PRODUCER NOTES

NOSE: SIMPLY STUNNING. TROPICAL FRUIT, COCONUT, TOBACCO, OAK SPICES AND TOASTED PINE NEEDLES WEAVE AN INTRICATE WEB OF AROMAS. WITH A BIT OF TIME, THIS BEAUTIFUL WHISKY OPENS UP TO WAVES OF MANGO, HONEY!DRIZZLED MELON, WARM ORANGE ZEST, GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND RIPE SUMMER STRAWBERRIES. IT'S MOUTH!WATERINGLY SUCCULENT AND FRUITY"THE GENTLE OAK OFFERING COCONUT, GINGER, BUTTERY SHORTBREAD, VANILLA CUSTARD AND HINTS OF TOBACCO. 

PALATE: THE VISCOSITY AND DEPTH TO THIS DRAM ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD; THE OAK NOTES OF TOBACCO AND BROWN SUGAR, CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT PROVIDE THE BASE FOR ALL THOSE WONDERFUL FRUIT COMBINATIONS TO SHINE. A DROP OF WATER AND A SECOND SIP FURTHER EXPLORES THE WOVEN LAYERS OF THIS REMARKABLE WHISKY. 

FINISH: THE SUCCULENT FRUIT SWEETNESS LASTS FOR AN AGE ON THE PALATE, APRICOT, MANGO AND BAKED BANANA, TOASTED SWEET OAK, HONEY AND VANILLA YOU JUST DON'T WANT IT TO END. 

CHARACTER: WITH THIS EDITION OF BLACK ART, INSPIRATION WAS TAKEN FROM THE GROUNDWORK DONE IN CREATING THE FIRST EDITIONS OF THIS SERIES, WHERE THERE WAS A RELENTLESS PURSUIT TO LAYER FLAVOUR. THIS WHISKY WOULD REST IN SOME OF THE FINEST CASKS, ADDING A DELICATE LAYER OF FRUIT BEFORE IT WAS MOVED ON AGAIN. CAREFULLY WAITING, WATCHING AND TASTING, LOOKING TO CHART NEW DIRECTIONS WITH EACH NEW CASK USED UNTIL FINALLY ARRIVING AT A POINT OF PERFECTION.
