Bruichladdich 1985

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 50%

Score: 95 Points

This malt spent its final months in an American oak refill butt, and the nose has notes of butterscotch, vanilla, and toffee. The taste is full of dried fruits, butterscotch, and coconut, and is very complex and creamy. The finish has toffee notes and a lingering kiss of smoke. An amazingly smooth dram.
