Bruichladdich 16 Links/Vancouver GC

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 89 Points

The 11th in Bruichladdich’s series of golf-related bottlings started off in a bourbon cask, then was racked into wine barrels from Chateau Haut-Brion. The Bordeaux influence comes out in the nose with hints of red grapes, along with honey and apples. The taste is full of figs and black cherries, a hint of pomegranate and fresh berries. The finish has notes of honey and vanilla.
