Product description
The Bruichladdich distillery was built in 1881 by the Harvey brothers using a new and revolutionary building material, concrete.
Bruichladdich changed owners several times, but it was not until it was taken over by Murray McDavid in the early 21st century that connoisseurs took notice of the whisky produced there. Since 2012, the distillery has been owned by the French company Rémy Cointreau. The 15-year-old version presented here is the distillery's offer from the late 90s, when it was managed by the blended whisky producer Whyte & Mackay, then part of the JBB Great Europe concern.
Aroma : mild, sand washed by ocean waves, seaweed, strong floral note, some malt, traces of citrus and minimal oak.
Taste: complete harmony, air saturated with iodine, sweet cereal flakes, vanilla, lemon peel, delicate traces of peat and oak.
Finish : long, mild, milk chocolate with salt, a blade of dry grass, seaweed salad.
