Whisky Online Auctions Tasting Notes:
We’ve tasted a sample from this cask, and it’s terrific stuff - deliciously old school, and mature enough to bottle now but with plenty in the tank if you wanted to age it further, especially given the high strength. Here’s our tasting notes from Tim F:
Nose: Very appealing opening notes of honey and lemon curd, with golden syrup and fresh laundry behind. Develops on grassy aromas of hay and honeysuckle, then overripe apple peel and high-quality milk chocolate. The oak appears late: hardwoods and furniture polish, a hint of cinnamon. Further time in the glass reveals custard, porridge, clove and orange peel. Water lifts nougat and Playdoh aromas.
Palate: Medium-full on the palate. Peppery at first, with the oak and nice touches of sugared almonds and apricot jelly, then zesty orange peel, strawberry liquorice, Playdoh, cloves, sponge cake with damson jam, cranachan, marmalade and a pleasing leafy herbaceousness towards the end. Gets fruitier with water, which also lifts wool and nougat flavours.
Finish: Very good length, warm and drying. The herby notes linger with the pepper, syrup, Playdoh, a menthol note and a touch of hot spices.
Comments: A very sippable dram in the old school style, with a lot of different layers of flavour held together by strong but not overbearing oak. The balance is improved further with a few drops of water.
This marvellous old cask of Bruichladdich 2005 is currently 16 years old and while it’s an excellent whisky already it really has the potential to become a truly magnificent dram in a few years time
