Tasting Notes
Bruichladdich 1988/30 - The Untouchable is a true masterpiece, an exquisite whisky that takes you on a captivating sensory journey. Pouring a deep amber hue, the nose immediately captivates with a delightful bouquet of floral notes, sun-dried hay, and delicate coconut oil, intertwined with hints of buttercups and primrose. As it breathes, the aroma unfolds to reveal vanilla fudge, porridge drizzled with golden syrup, and a tantalizing citrus tang. The palate is a velvety smooth embrace, enveloping the senses with layers of coconut and citrus, complemented by honeyed granola and toasted malt. The elegant and floral character gives way to a harmonious blend of pipe tobacco and fudge, seamlessly integrated with the warmth of toasted oak. Each sip unveils ripe tropical notes of pineapple and mango, subtly accented by a refreshing hint of mint. The finish is a lingering embrace, where the maritime influence of the maturation process mingles with wood spice, fudge, and a gentle sea breeze, leaving a delightful trail of mango and aniseed.
