Review #1291 – Bruichladdich 26yr Signatory Vintage 1990

I tasted this dram blind and then got the reveal at a later time, so keep that in mind as you read through these notes.

Review #1291 | Scotch Review #453

Distiller: Bruichladdich

Bottler: Signatory Vintage

Selection: N/A

ABV: 56% ABV

Age: Years

Nose: Apples, pears, bread. Light salinity, light apple presence. Some toffee, light honey, light caramel. Seems scotchy.

Taste: Yep that’s scotch. Sweet, lovely, lots of pepper. Cocoa, toffee, honey, some ash, there’s a good deal of ethanol here. It’s CS, but it’s delicious. Apple crisp if I had to put a word to it.

Finish: Really long, complex and rich. Sweet toffee, sweet honey, apples, pears, figs, cherry. Light lactic funk.

Overall: This is really nice. Definitely cask strength scotch. Lots of great complexity and flavor here.

Thanks for reading!
