Bruichladdich Yellow Submarine II: The Legend Resurfaces

Single Malt — Islay, Scotland

Reviewed November 25, 2020 (edited July 30, 2022)

4.75 out of 5 stars
I am a monstrous Beatles fanatic and when I saw this, I just had to taste this, good or bad, for the mere novelty. In conversation with a great Distiller friend, @PBMichiganWolverine he mentioned he had this and was generous enough to share and provide a taste of this Drammers Club exclusive. A golden pale yellow color greets you in the glass. Initial nosing reveals the full spectrum of aromas. This is light, fruity, earthy and sweet with a smidge spice and phenols. Ripened peach, raspberry, blueberry, bananas, apples and Concord grapes provide the fruits. Cleaned mushrooms, straw, petrichor (thanks @Davie-Warner for sharing that word) provide some earthiness. Milk chocolate/Whoppers candy, butterscotch, butter pound cake, confectionery sugar, toasted marshmallows provide sweetness. A dash of spice of cinnamon and nutmeg sprinkled about. Then there is that rubber hose note that floats above the plethora of aromas A embodiment of aromas simply stated. But the complexity and breadth of aromas is vast and such the tangible aspects need not be rehashed (see above for the flavors). The fruits remain on the palate once all is consumed. Some tropical is more apparent of toasted coconut and dried pineapples. The spices and oak tannins caboose the fruity finish. All in all, leaves you wanting another sip to slowly enjoy. The is a fabulous dram. Near perfect in that from nose to finish, all aromas and flavors remain existent and true. I am sure I am missing some other aromas/flavors mainly because of the wide array of possible interpretations and complexity. But that is a good thing. On this Thanksgiving Eve, in this dreadful year of 2020, a small and bright bit of cheer in a glass. Thank you @PBMichiganWolverine for providing me a rare sample. Absolutely wonderful.

    I rated this the best Laddie I've had. I wish it was a Drammers Club exclusive, but we merely bought a bottle at auction and split it into samples.

    @PBMichiganWolverine no apologies needed. Just happy I got to taste this. This was one of the best drama I have had in some time. Thanks again.

    @Scott_E sorry it was barely 2-3cl, I only had a 5-6cl. I’ve not had it yet, but looking forward to it after high praise from you and @Richard-ModernDrinking
