Bruichladdich 1985/32 Rare Cask Series - Bourbon: Hidden Glory

Bruichladdich is an award-winning distillery employing generations of distilling knowledge and the principle of minimal intervention. Built in 1881 on the wild Scottish island of Islay, their distillery still uses the original Victorian equipment to create a range of single malt whiskies that are trickle distilled, matured and bottled solely on Islay by a skilled team of men and women. Bruichladdich implements revolutionary, modern interpretations of time-honored ideas and challenges the comfortable conventions of a whisky establishment. Rejecting the onset of modern automation and homogenization, Bruichladdich Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, only considers production methods that place the quality of liquid above everything else. Diversity starts in the field. They believe the interaction of man, land, soil and climate is paramount.

Tasting Notes

An amazing array of notes on the nose: blood orange, nectarines, banana bread, desiccated coconut, vanilla custard, then more oral and nutty tones, geranium, marzipan, walnut, and heather honey. On the palate is warm, nutmeg a hint of fruit; raspberry, blackcurrant jam and ripe plum, all perfectly balanced by years in American oak. Lemon meringue and coconut - bounty bar sweet. It opens continually to reveal layer upon layer of complexity. The finish is long and gentle, the oak influence is strong with waves of soft vanilla wafer, toffee and sandalwood. Then lemon barley sugars, a hint of salted caramel and apricot syrup.
