Single Malts of Scotland Director's Special Bruichladdich 30 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Already sold out in the UK, Bruichladdich is the second recent addition to the premium selections from The Single Malts of Scotland. With over 30 years maturing in a single hogshead yielding a total of 218 cask-strength bottles, this will be one for the select few. The presentation is also special. 48.3% Alc./Vol. Non chill-filtered.

Other reviews... Colour: white wine. Nose: one wonders if the hoggie was made of concrete or clay. Apricots, peaches, melon, greengages, soft meadow honeys, natural vanilla. Absolutely zero cask influence, at least in terms of flavouring, it's as if this old Bruichladdich had been stored in demijohns since its tenth year. Mouth: wonderfully gentle, with honey, green apples, honey, green apples, honey, green apples, honey... and so on. Just a drop of melon liqueur. Finish: long, taut. A hint of mint in the aftertaste, and especially pear. Comments: an old Bruichladdich that has remained extraordinarily elemental after thirty years in the cask, almost a thesis subject. 88 points - whiskyfun.com
