From a bourbon barrel. What the actual peat level is in Bruichladdich varies according to sources. Or some sources maybe more right than others? Most say its about 5ppm. Some say its unpeated. The color is golden. It smells spicy, sea salt, truffles, earthy, damp smoke, burnt butter. It's a typical Islayer with little peat (if such a thing exists?). Reminds me a bit of that unpeated Caol Ila that was in the wind a couple years back. The taste is peppery, salty, seaweed, dry white wine, raw onions, raw shallots, sweet and peppery! And there's quite some peat as well. The finish is sugary, caramel, syrupy, quite a surprise!
I think this is the way to go, not too young, not too wild, just damn feisty!: 7.5
Next tasting: Cragganmore Distillery
