One of the distilleries that didn’t leave a very good impression after a initial tasting some time ago, but that I still intend to like. So another secondary comparison-tasting this time with “the Organic”, the “Islay Barley” and the “Port Charlotte OLC:01”. Nose: pineapple, tomato juice, barley whole grains, a recurring Bruichladdich style but with very different additional aromas, banana, almost minty, some fresh honey as well, herbs, milky chocolate, water melon, smooth and sweet, cola, interesting & intriguing. Later: condensed milk, even sweeter. Palate: sharp and hot at first, but that gives way to a lingering sweetness that also has a smoky note. On the second sip the heat and burn is kinda gone and it gets more malty sweet. Finish: a soft herbs- and spices-mix (including an interesting and quite present laurel / bay leaf taste ... very nice), and really a smokey after taste I like it. I mean it feels young for sure but that fresh intensity and very interesting sub-notes on the nose and palate are really interesting which makes for a diverse experience.
