Bruichladdich Peat

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 87 Points

The nose has wood and vanilla notes, cinnamon and a nice underlying maltiness. The taste is spicy and intense at first with a touch of pepper, then fades to a smooth oakiness with a touch of hazelnut and vanilla crème that leads to a smooth, long finish.  There’s peat, but it’s gentle. (2008)
