Bruichladdich 10 Year Old Old Skool
The Tasting Notes
A vibrant medley of ripe stoned fruits opens on the nose with apricot, nectarine, and red plum. Creamy vanilla custard and barley sugar are complemented with delicate notes of orange blossom and fresh geranium leaves.
The palate is balanced and viscous, with juicy stoned fruits adding a bright citrus lift. Layers of soft barley sugar, stewed pear and ripe apple come to the fore, with the quality oak bringing notes of creamy coconut and caramelised vanilla custard.
Apricot jam and toasted coconut settle on the finish, with a vibrant hint of grapefruit and lemon zest. Sweet barley sugar lingers with smouldering embers of gently toasted oak.
