A good sweet fruity Bruichladdich but it does runs a bit hot towards the end & hints of sulphur, good value at ~275eur on sale (for an OB of nearly 30yo from a respectable Islay distillery that’s also Limited Edition)
Nose
Rich tropical fruity nose with hints of smoke, honey, beeswax, waxy, dark chocolate, dark fruits, raisins, notes of sherry, a bit menthol at the end
Body
Caramel, honey, nice balance mix of sweet & spiciness but slightly bitter sherry towards the end, not alot of smoke (as expected from an unpeated Bruichladdich), again with the rich dark fruits, unexpectingly full body from a 45,1% dram
Finish
Long dried fruits finish, the dried fruits linger for a while in the mouth but it does get slightly bitter
