Product description
Murray McDavid purchased the defunct Bruichladdich distillery in 2000 and soon turned it into a 21st century icon.
The old sales offer was abandoned, and each subsequent year welcomed a dozen or so new editions. The Cuvee First Growth Series debuted in 2008 and offered 16-year-old whiskies finished in barrels of the most distinguished wines from the Bordeaux region. The Cuvee F, after a basic maturation period in bourbon barrels, was placed in barrels from Pomerol from Château Lafleur. This edition was limited to 12,000 bottles.
Aroma: fresh and elegant, apples, pears, grapes, raspberry mousse, milk chocolate, honey, toffee and a light sea breeze.
Taste: bold, vanilla, honey, toffee, bowl of berries, notes of hay and lemongrass, cinnamon, a bit of pepper and a delicate bitterness of oak.
Finish : long, vanilla, toffee, mixed berry jam, a hint of anise and subtle herbal notes.
