Bruichladdich Private Cask Bottling 12 Year Old, Rivesaltes Hogshead Cask, Cask #455, 2010, J E Cockayne, 62.5%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

85 / 100

Red grapes, citrus and warm spice sound like a lively mix, while the short, dry, bitter finish gives it a real reservation. With water, the fruit comes forward and the bitterness eases, which makes that contrast appealing.
