Bruichladdich Black Art 1990 06.1 Edition 26 Year

So much going on. Too many to list. Prominent flavors of coconut and licorice. Mind blowing experience.

I have been waiting several years to finally try this whisky. There was something about the bottle that simply seduced me. Let me get things straight: I HATE BRUICHLADDICH THE CLASSIC LADDIE, but this one i wanted to try. The price people asked for this is ridiculous and that is why i have never tried it before. The Bruichladdich 26yo Black art from 1990, lived to its expectations and i discover some things on it that made this dram special. Its one of 18.000 bottles, and Adam, the master distiller is allegedly the only one who knows what its the cask type on this baby. Bottled at 46.9%abv. On the nose, it is SUPER COMPLEX, but let me start by telling you that i hated the "Classic Laddie" because it had a flavor and aroma of Soap, Shampoo and those chinese rice gums. Well, the VERY FIRST AROMA NOTE I GOT WAS.... Soap. Lol!. But then, the complexity appeared and the journey started. Sugar, Coffee, Toasted notes. Shampoo but a looooot better than the classic laddie. Creme brulee/toasted caramel, Dry grass; It still has the soap notes like washing your hands, but with some coffee infused foam. After first sip, the nose gave me a super chocolate-Thick note. On the palate, it is one great dram. Delicious Chocolate, Some grassy spiciness coming up. Oranges. Amazing dram with Brown sugar notes. Very rewarding. The aftertaste feels like bonfire where you have burnt dry grass; ginger madness. Beautiful dram. Dry grassy finish. Let this whisky breath, it is totally worth it. Overall, this is exactly what people say and brag about. My score for it is 99/100. Remarkable.

Very sweet with lots of oak in the nose. Sweet all the way into the finish, very smooth and balanced.

Great like any other black art. Notes of dark chocolate fudge, cereal grains, oak, raisins, toffee, cherries, pepper, almonds, dried fruit, and tropical fruit.

Thin on the nose, smooth on the tongue. Caramel notes
