Bruichladdich 18 Year Re/Define

Treated myself. Nose: sweet, some vanilla and honey, very inviting with good maltiness and fruitiness Palate: more honey, mix of spices such as clove, good mix of light fruit like pear and apple. Good mouth feel overall Finish: more maltiness with nuttiness, surprisingly smooth for a 100 proof Overall, very good as I expected with Bruichladdich but not convinced it's worth the price

Nose is sweet, but i couldn’t identify a specific flavor. The taste was sweet and fruity, with a long finish. It’s quite hot, and i would have mistaken it for a cask strength. Very good.

Very good with notes of apricots, blueberries, lemon cheesecake, vanilla, white chocolate, bananas, honey, dark chocolate, rosewater, almonds, coconuts, and canteloupes.

Sweet. Honey, baked apple sweetness without the tartness, baking spices. Very grain forward and spicier than expected. The port and sauternes aren’t super prevalent from what I can tell.

Funky, malty, all sorts of ripe fruits from tropical to darker berries, spice, vanilla, powdered sugar, some dark caramel, a bit tannic on the finish. The wine casks were not overused as they often are in Scotch. They add subtle layers of complexity on top of the already delicious bourbon-aged spirit. While I've enjoyed Classic Laddie, I've always thought it was missing something. This is the the full Laddie. A great 18 year old Islay single malt bottled at 50% for $149 USD. Well done, Bruichladdich! If they keep this as a core bottling at this price, it will become one of the few OB's I always keep around.
