Bruichladdich 16 First Growth Cuvee A

This single malt started off in bourbon casks before spending a period of time in Chateau Lafitte wine casks. The nose is rosy and floral with notes of citrus, lime, and other tropical fruits. The taste has notes of mango and grapefruit, along with vanilla and rose tea, while the finish is rosy, tart, and muted.
