Dramfool's 55th (!) release is a another beautiful one. A Bruichladdich aged for 20 years in a 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel Distillery: Bruichladdich, Scotland Age: 20 years old Strength: 59%abv Only 222 bottles Cask Strength | Non-Chill Filtered | No Colouring Added Jim McEwan Tasting Notes: Aromas - Classic Islay without the smoke which allows the barley/oak notes to shine andhighlights that brilliant Atlantic freshness. Hints of ripe Guava & melon work in harmonywith the crispness of the malt & the oak which brings that mellow soft sweetness. It’s anirresistible combination, almost like an Atlantic rainbow of aromatics in harmony with the Island & its unique location. Taste - Wow!! Its so clean and flavourful. The texture is amazing giving the taste buds aspiritual experience like no other. The sweetness of the malt sugars is held beautifully in a cradle of spicy oak from the Bourbon cask. The fruitiness is down to slow distillation and long fermentation, and the fresh vibrant mouthfeel due to its maturing on the Atlantic Coast. The main prize here goes to the Distillery team who truly understand the art of distillation..
