Bruichladdich 1990

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Scott's Selection

ABV: 58.1%

Score: 90 Points

The dry nose has a note of cucumber and hints of pepper and vanilla. The taste has a dry and chewy mouthfeel, astringent at the start with a hint of brandy but opening up to reveal hints of peat and a subtle creaminess with a touch of cinnamon as the driness fades. The finish is dry with hints of hazelnut and caramel fudge ice cream topping. A very complex dram.
