An old and rare bottling from Islay distillery, Bruichladdich, matured in a single hogshead cask for over 30 years! Bottled by Elixir Distillers for the Director's Special series, from The Single Malts of Scotland range, only 218 bottles were filled from cask at 48.3% vol. 'Coastal character with the heather honey notes more often found in malts from the mainland, creating a well-balanced dram.'

Tasting Notes

Awards


Nose

Standing in a garden in summer with tones of elderflower, nettle cordial and honeysuckle intermingling with an earthy undertone. Notes of gingerbread mix and light aniseed give an indication of the rich body to come.

Palate

Honey water with more of the herbs; tarragon and mint expand across the palate while a wonderful delicate spice and cake batter coat the tongue while lemon and orange oil balance the inherent sweetness.

Finish

Lingering spice and elderflower seem to layer and linger on the palate as the sweetness slowly dissipates.
