  • Indeed, I was surprised at how mildly some of the initial flavors came across. However, the liquid is partially redeemed by a captivating and truly unexpected finish, rich in chocolate and coffee notes.

  • When you think of 30-year-old Scotch single malt, think of this. This Bruichladdich is a fine example of expression at this age range; there’s very little to pick on.

  • Delicious and opulent. This is a killer release from Bruichladdich and delivers a richness I don’t always find in well-aged releases from the Islay distillery.
