Bruichladdich 26 year old Black Art 1994 (Edition 8.1), 45.1%
Price: $450 ● Issue: Spring 2021 ● Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton
A bright and delicate nose is spritzed with lemon and mandarin orange, perfumed with salt-sprayed hibiscus, and supported by the creamy sweetness of almonds and pistachios. Consistent on the palate, which shines with zingy, zesty lemon, orange, and grapefruit, though cinnamon, peppermint, almonds, and oak offer a tempering influence. It finishes with sweet mint and oak, cinnamon, and a creeping tobacco flavor—the end of a great cigar. (Collectible)
