– Nose: Hugely floral, sun dried hay, coconut oil, buttercups, and primrose. A definite American oak style, toasted oak and vanilla caramel hold the fruit from the spirit.
– Taste: A classic Bruichladdich style, elegant and floral at first before allowing the oak to sweep in with pipe tobacco and fudge.
– Finish: The finish shows a little more of the marine element of the maturation. The toasted oak goes the distance too and seems to bring along a little mango and aniseed to finish.
