- Description
- Twelve years in first-fill sherry hogshead has transformed Bruichladdich's typical Islay coastal profile into something richer and more complex. Dried fruit, fig, and dark chocolate layer over the distillery's signature slightly oily mouthfeel and faint smoke, with the sherry adding warmth and spice. Long and warming, this rewards contemplation neat.
