Nose

Instantly recognizable as Bruichladdich (I tried this blind, so that's good!). There’s some custardy stank, iodine, rubber, nori sheets, and crispy bacon. Honey and vanilla. Ricotta cheese, key lime pie, and sourdough smeared with salted butter. Lemon granita and some ripe sweet pineapple.

Palate

Medium texture. Sweet and buttery on the arrival, with vanilla, nutmeg, brown sugar, and toasted coconut. Big pork fat and lime sherbet as it develops, then some scented oak and shellfish. Light-roast coffee beans, coastal peat smoke, and seaweed.

Finish

Medium-length, sweet. Brown sugar, butter, banana, candied ginger, tropical flowers, and sugar snap peas. Lingering slight earthiness and minerality.

Overall Notes

This is solid. Relatively mellow throughout, but these are some nice flavours. The finish is maybe a little light. I tried this blind and guessed that it was an older Port Charlotte.
