Bruichladdich 12y 2nd Edition

Just a quick review of a surprise scotch I wasn’t expecting to get to try! Had a great dinner with some friends and after some lovely seafood and salad, the host pulled out this little gem of a Bruichladdich. And to add to a great night with great people – they don’t make this scotch anymore, and there’s only about 7 left scattered throughout Ontario.  Quite satisfying to try something you probably won’t be able to find again.

* also got to try out a great 45m Canon lens too!

Here’s what I thought:

smell
Bright, fruit, brine, fig and pear

neat
Light smoke, faint peat, good burn. Treacle. Nice sweetness
