Intro:
A well regarded IB of Bruichladdich aged in ex-bourbon and bottled at cask strength.
-
Nose:
Smoke, salinity, BBQ. Apples and lemon meringue pie. RIbs, black pepper. Nice peppery sweetness.
-
Taste:
Really thick. Nice mouthfeel and good proof. Sweet cream, vanilla, honey, lemon pie. Pepper and then the smoke rolls in. Total Laddie smoke - I could tell this miles away.
-
Finish:
Long, hot, peppery and smokey. Big, laddie brashness.
-
Overall:
Man, this is really something. Too bad these are such a pain to get over here. Phenomenal dram loaded with everything that a good, brash Laddie packs. The ex bourbon lends some really nice sweetness to the pepper and the punch. If my local bar had this for a reasonable price, I'd probably drink it all of the time.
