Description

Distilled 29th May 2001 and named after the son of Mark Reynier who "filled" this cask. There is a picture of this on the bottle. Cask 1 "Wee Ruari" was the first cask filled at Bruichladdich by the new management team. Mark Reynier asked Loch Fyne Whiskies to sell 250 of the 376 bottles yielded from the cask. The balance of the bottles are being retained by the family and Ruari who was five month old at the time.

Nose
At first a retiring nose, but with a little time it blooms. Dusky, earthy and floral, backed by a confident but gentle peat smoke that builds and builds as it develops in the glass. Herbal aromas (mint, anise, rosemary) and sea-spray, with a light iodine medicinal quality. A tiny hint of oak.
Palate
Beautifully lush and soft arrival and delivery. A lightly salty but predominantly malted cereal palate with unexpectedly firm peat smoke overlaying everything. A floral-herbal-smoky character with some spicy overtones (ginger, white pepper).
Finish
Long, smoky, and earthy. A sweetly lingering aftertaste.
