[UPDATE: I was going to rate this a 3 when I started my review, but as I worked through it, and started taking notes and typing, the whisky changed quite a bit in the glass. What was fairly mute and unexpressive opened a lot, and the flavors grew more bold. Definitely recommend letting this sit uncovered in the glass for at least 10 minutes] The nose is fairly light, with a bit of saltspray, honeysuckle, and the faintest whiff of citrus, more lemony than grapefruit, but certainly a mashup rather than just one or the other. Maybe not awe-inspiring, but certainly unique. The palate is almost a flavor-for-scent copy of the nose, but underlying it all is an essence of outdoorsiness. Think of eating a grapefruit while sitting on a clean linen in the middle of a freshly harvested hayfield, with the wind blowing the soft vanilla/sugar aromas of honeysuckle past you. Not very complex, but pleasant and enjoyable nonetheless. The finish is all too brief, because this is the best part of the dram for me. It gets heavy, oily, and redolent with lemon and eucalyptus flavor...if they could find a way to carry this flavor throughout the whole experience, it would be a 5-star Scotch. As it is, it's mostly the finish that keeps it from sinking to a 3. I'm beginning to worry that Bruichladdich just isn't my cup of tea. This makes me sad, because I absolutely love the peated expressions from Port Charlotte, and Octomore is my second favorite drink of all time. I don't know for sure, but I'm committed to finding out.
