Intro:
Distilled by Bruichladdich on Islay and aged for 21 years, this Cuvee is the third of a set. Alongside a Bordeaux Sauternes and a Cognac cask finished release, this particular bottling - the 407 - is matured in PX casks.
-
Nose:
Rich dark cherry, blackberry, sherry and currant. Supple and elegant on the nose with all of the delicious notes we'd expect an unpeated malt and PX sherry to arrive with.
-
Taste:
Dark and brooding, extremely syrupy. Faint ash. The masterclass of sherry. Rich mouthfeel, sweet and fruity but not too sweet and fruity. Lots going on here with a slight influence from the Islay aging that brings balance to the malt, sweet wine and faint ash.
-
Finish:
Long finish that takes forever to dissipate. More malt than wine on the finish, with blackberry, currant, stewed fruits and toffee supporting the show.
-
Overall:
An amazing bottling that easily stands as my favorite of the trio of Laddie Cuvee's. This is a sherry master class.
