Elements of Islay Br2 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (500ml)

One of a new collection of seriously fun whiskies produced by Specialty Drinks to celebrate Islay. The series is produced by vatting between 5 and 20 barrels of whisky from a single distillery.

Br2 is the second Bruichladdich expression from the Elements series. This distillery has a reputation as one of the most faintly peated of all Islays, although in recent times they have swung the pendulum to offer a diverse range from super heavy to lightly smokey styles.

Tasting note: Very pale straw / gold colour. The aroma slowly seeps out of the glass as notes of brine and malt and a touch of anise emerge, but remains subdued an ligh even after considerable aeration. Nothing Cask Strength about this palate - remarkably soft and poised with only gentle spices suggesting this could be over 45% ABV. Medium sweet, biscuity malt and traces of dried fruits. Good concentration. Typical, with very little peat evident. Finish is peppery with a faint liquorice fade. Concludes a little short. 49.3 Alc./Vol.
