Official tasting notes:
Nose: Very creamy, mandarins, peach yogurt, apricots, pineapple and strawberry milkshake.
Flavour: Syrupy fruits, with a soft salty back ground. Peaches, cardamom pods, sweet and sour notes, limoncello with toffee sauce.
Finish: Thick and chewy, soft coastal notes give way to bags of fruit and golden syrup.

Bottling Notes
This little gem was distilled in 1988 when Bruichladdich was laying unloved during the Invergordon years after the distillery went through an expansion in the late 70’s, only to close their doors temporarily in the early 80’s.
Just surviving though the era of management buyouts and hostile take overs, there’s some serious Islay history in this bottle. And with Cadenhead watching over her maturation, there’s no doubt this is one special dram.
