Nose
Marshmallow and Battenberg cake sit alongside Comice pears and lychee, whilst coffee beans and shortbread biscuits are reinforced with a slightly farmy note – not quite cheese, but heading in that direction. In the background, light tropicals (foam bananas), shaved wood and a twinge of saltpetre. Water reinforces the lacticness that runs throughout – milk whey alongside darker fruits – berries and plums.
Palate
The arrival is relaxed and restrained for 54% - you might even say 'smooth' if you wish. Coffee beans are up first – then chocolate cake, engine oils, chip fat and grease. There's texture and weight here and it's all rather pleasant. Steeped fruit teas (favouring bananas and pineapples) sit with a foamy latté, whilst an umami meatiness runs underneath – syrupy, caramelised, and supported by cinnamon spices.
Finish
Medium, with charred cask ends, slight coal minerals and fading jammy fruitiness. An older style Bruichladdich which shows off two characteristics of the distillate – bright fruitiness, and more fuller-bodied dirty mechanised farminess. The two usually sit together quite harmoniously, and that's certainly the case with this 15 year old. Upbeat and lively, but with an thought-provoking griminess. Well worth looking out for if you enjoy this style.
