Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie

Color: hay Despite 50% ABV, no legs in Glencairn glass. Opaque teal squat bottle is unique. Nose: busy..lots going on here. Salty, fruity, moderate sweetness come across for me. Palate: strong alcohol, rich sweet fruit & malt with some burn on first sip. A few drops of water calms the alcohol a bit, but there's a slight bitterness with the phenolic note. Finish: long & warm Overall...1.5 stars. Disappointed the vanilla I wanted just wasn't there, and the salt overwhelmed the other fruit flavor notes... I sure wouldn't want my morning peaches salted...lol. I won't replace this one when it's gone. Bummer...
