THE VERY LAST 12 CASKS FROM 1984

Bruichladdich head distiller Adam Hannett believes old Bruichladdich in bourbon is the ultimate expression of laddie spirit. The fruit, the faint salt tang, the signature elegance is all there but there is now layer upon layer of vanilla/butterscotch complexity.

Colour - An Islay sunrise.
Aroma - Gorgeous. Classic old school Bruichladdich. Coconut, warm muscovado sugar, vanilla custard, grapefruit, mango, baked ginger biscuits, marzipan. After a while notes of date syrup and sultana.
Taste - Soft and gentle texture, a delicate dram. Crème brulee, buttercup and orange zest. Gently warming the palate, it opens to reveal a touch of leather, toasted oak and praline. Sweet citrus and mango come through later.
Finish - So gentle but a lovely finish of warm scones and dried fruit, candied orange, lemon peel and apricot jam.
Mood/Character - There is a quiet feel to this dram, delicate yet assured of its identity.
