Reviewed September 28, 2020 (edited October 14, 2020)Nose - Rich fruity caramel, ripe apples & pears, sweet golden raisins, grape gummies, pineapple, light saline Taste - White pepper spice, red berries, golden raisins, dark apple/pear cider, hint of saline, sharp ripe pineapple, light fruity bitterness of grape/apple/pear stems at the very end Finish - Lingering fruity berry/apple/pear cider, saline lingers, fruity bitterness & white pepper spice/heat re-appear Score - 91/100 Final Thoughts - The nose on this one is amazing as it seems to come & go in waves & is just goes on & on. Classic Bruichladdich saline notes, although this one is a bit more subtle, but has loads of rich ripe apple/pear notes with a hint of this fruity red berry note. This transitions to the palate where it makes you feel as if the makup of this was primarily ex-bourbon, but there has to be some sort of wine cask in there & maybe even a refill sherry or something too. Altogether a magnificent dram. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Yes Would I buy a bottle? - Maybe if I could find it for around $150ish USD?
