Nose: Smoky aromas, notes of vanilla and tropical fruit, hint of citrus . Mouth: Powerful flavors of tobacco, caramel, flambéed banana and black pepper
Finish: Medium length, notes of dark chocolate and ash, light touch of sea salt
Nose: Overall dry, vinous impression supported by spicy, woody notes. Seductive aromas of tart red berries, vanilla, a hint of wax. A little water softens the nose and relaxes the aroma, without much alteration.
Mouth: Ultra-unctuous, gourmet texture. Barley sugar, pinch of salt, suggestions of currant and crunchy grape. At reduced strength, it's not as tart, but still spicy; the sweetness is enhanced but the mouth-watering spicy heat remains.
Finish: Long and dry with pepper and mild spice. With milder water, now with a trace of fondant in the aftertaste.
This Bruichladdich is extremely creamy, maritime and bright. Full of power and peppery, waxy texture, it shows the robustness of Islay whisky without the peat. And it's a true island single malt, evocative and beautifully coastal and mineral.
Nose: Sweet and rich, with fruity aromas suggesting baked apple, pear and peach. These are soon joined by a rich caramel note, reminiscent of sweet butterscotch. All these aromas are mellow, round and mouth-watering.
Mouth: Firm and full-bodied, richly fruity from the start, the powerful, fresh taste soon becomes deliciously sweet and salty, with a hint of salt amid the spicy intensity.
Finish: Quite long, it finishes smoothly, dry, slightly spicy and slightly refreshing.
Nose: Compass Box Hedonism reveals subtle aromas of vanilla, caramel and dried fruit. Mouth: On the palate, this whisky reveals notes of crème brûlée, coconut and cinnamon, for a velvety, gourmet texture. Finish: The finish is long and sweet, giving way to nuances of honey and spice that linger pleasantly on the palate.
Nose: Notes of delicate orange lead followed by touches of apricot and popcorn lending sweetness to the maritime seaweed that echoes in the glass. Subtle pipe tobacco adds to the elegant smokiness and is rounded out by honey, vanilla and boiled sweets.
Palate: Light and zesty oak spice is joined by the rich and sweet bonfire smokiness that is so unmistakably Torabhaig spirit. Subtly waxy with hints of honey and vanilla balancing sea salt and seaweed that ebbs away to white pepper and sweet spice.
Finish: Like a sunset over the Sound of Sleat, this is lingering and elegant with notes of honey, storms and the ocean.
Nose: Smoky oak embers, burnt licorice and honey, with ginger, butterscotch and orange zest.
