Bruges Whisky Core Batch #2 is a single malt whisky bottled at a high natural strength of 55.1% ABV. For a new drinker, that usually means a fuller, more concentrated style that may show more intensity than a standard bottling.
Single malt is made from malted barley at one distillery, and this style often highlights the distillery character clearly. With a whisky at this strength, many drinkers like to try it first neat and then add a few drops of water to see how the aroma and flavour open up.
