Very good review score, 85 out of 100
A very long, bitter finish dominated by pepper, genever, cloves and extreme coffee makes this malt sheer madness—but wonderfully enjoyable.

Bruichladdich is an Islay Scotch whisky distillery founded in 1881. It makes Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte, and Octomore single malts and has been owned by Rémy Cointreau since 2012.
A very long, bitter finish dominated by pepper, genever, cloves and extreme coffee makes this malt sheer madness—but wonderfully enjoyable.
Wonderfully fresh and pure, with elegant lemon, lime, artichoke and green walnut notes, finishing long and precise on barley, salt and walnuts.
This fragile malt is charming, with melon skins, fresh almonds, little apples and herbal teas, drinking rather like a white wine.
