Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2008 Islay Grown: Dunlossit Estate

Nice fruity profile, pronounced pears. A little bit simple but very enjoyable dram.

Nose: Lemon drops, bread, Russian fudge. Palate: Medium oily. A yeasty dram with more savoury flavours. Medium finish with a surprising amount of heat. Feels a little young.

I was incredibly lucky to find this at Harper Liquor Land near Detroit MI. I paid around $95, and I’ve seen it listed for far more. Nose - honey and green apple, sharp slightly bitter lemon peel, floral like an expensive perfume, cereal grains, some pear Palette - medium bodied, strong pear and honey on the first sip, apple and granola, floral notes again and honeysuckle, some lemon zest as well Finish - long lingering floral and green fruit, medium but pleasant burn
