Bruichladdich Islay Barley 8 year old 2013, 50%

Sweet biscuity aromas along with ripe peaches and pears lead to a creamy palate of lemon cake, candied orange, nougat, and vanilla, all balanced by the wood influence and hints of salinity. Water brings out sweet nectar and honey. The finish is graceful, long, and lively, making this a truly memorable dram. No.-9 whisky in the Top 20 of 2022
