Tasting Notes:

Toasted oak, orange citrus and vanilla custard open on the nose, followed by a wave of warm spice, butter toffee and freshly baked pastry. Warm and soft on the palate, smooth caramel, marzipan and barley sugar add a luxurious sweetness, balanced with Bruichladdich’s signature floral character. Mellow toasted oak settles on the finish, with milk chocolate and a hint of fresh pineapple.
