Probably the most interesting Bruichladdich I’ve had, with a Pinot Gris finish, I think that this would have been an amazing dram in the 92-93 tier had it been bottled at a higher ABV perhaps 50%+

Whiskyfun — Serge Valentin

Retrieved 05 October 2026

Whiskyfun finds ripe tropical fruit, honey and gentle oak spice. Apricot, quince and mint lead into a woodier, drying palate. The balanced finish is not especially long; Serge awards 91/100.
