Bruichladdich Port Charlotte SC: 01 2012 Sauternes Cask (700ml)

From the distillery: “Nose: Sweet stone fruit and a delicate floral perfume on the nose. Hints of smoke come through with time. Initially peaches in syrup, dried apricots, honeyed melon and ripe pineapple. 

Palate: On the palate the warmth and supple texture of this dram elegantly grace the palate and bring together a balance of light peat smoke and ripe fruit. Beneath the delicate smoke comes earthy notes of leather and boot polish. The oak brings strength and sweet vanilla, chocolate and citrus to compliment the waves of fruit from the spirit. 

Finish: A dram you wish would last forever, the wonderful marine minerality and earthy smoke linger on the palate with a citrus twang.”
