Bruichladdie, The Laddie Sixteen. Islay, Scotland. ABV: 46%. Halcyon Bar, $16.
Colour: Deep gold
Nose: Smooth, hints of oak.
Palate: Quite a clean taste. Salty notes, picked up flavours of muscatelles. My good mate Giles got tastes of “candied elderflower”, to which I detected “scents of wankerbreath”.
Finish: Quite smooth, short finish on the front palette.
Comments: If you put your ear to the glass you can almost hear the waves crashing on the beach at Islay…not quite, but it sounded wanky enough for your stereotypical whisky review! Unpeated, so quite different to most other Islays I’ve tried.
“if you put your ear to the glass you can hear the waves crashing on the beach at Islay…” or more likely your hearing damage from too many smoky bars.
