Initial nosing I get peat smoke, iodine, and then that classic Bruichladdich new make freshness with citrus notes and vanilla. On the pallate I get campfire, sour and then sweet. On the finish I get wood smoke, spice, and tartness. The finish is a nice medium length. I love that Bruichladdich bottles all their whisky at 50% and higher ABV. It suits the whisky well and is never over powering. This is a great Islay whisky at this price point!
