Immensely fruity, jammy and chocolaty again, starting on truckloads of bitter oranges, mastic candies, propolis, blackcurrant jelly, rum-soaked pineapples, very ripe bananas, armagnac… And then we have loads of pepper and cloves, prunes, hints of Chinese anise, dried figs… Extremely big, thick, not ‘light’ at all which is unusual with Bruichladdich. And an interminable finish on dried fruits, salt and quite some rubber after lots of ‘caudalies’ . Brilliant whisky, that’s for sure.
