	Flavour profile: Aroma: Intense with notes of ripe peach and honeysuckle with floral hints of violet and lavender. There are also sweet and spicy accents reminiscent of vanilla, coconut and charred oak. Over time, tropical fruit develops with melon, peach, apricot and citrus in the foreground, while the long maturation period adds opulent hints of honey, caramel and crème brûlée. Flavour: Voluminous and creamy with honey, butterscotch and fresh fruit, followed by sweet oatmeal, barley sugar and toasted oak. Towards the end, wood spice and tropical fruits with a hint of leather as well as honeycomb, which reinforce the sweet character. Finish: Typical Bruichladdich character with mineral notes, balanced with oak, stone fruit and a delicate floral bouquet.

Product description

The 18-year-old single malt whisky from Bruichladdich's new High Provenance series is produced using 50% barley from the Scottish mainland and 50% barley grown, harvested and processed on Islay.Each variety and the year of harvest are fully traceable. Bruichladdich's terroir approach from farm to bottle sets new standards with this bottling. The Bruichladdich Wrap is the first packaging of its kind in the whisky industry to be made from 100% fully recyclable paper pulp. The new, weight-optimised bottle design also helps to optimise sustainability and reduce the distillery'sCO2 footprint. It is no coincidence that Bruichladdich is one of the few B-Corp certified whisky companies in the world. Strict requirements must be met and adhered to at all times in order to obtain certification, which is monitored at regular intervals by a responsible government commission. The whisky itself first matures in ex-bourbon casks and is then finished in Sauternes and port wine casks. Before it is filled into modern bottles at 50% vol. without being chill-filtered and without the addition of colour, the three types of cask are married together for nine months.

Kommentar: Ein Bruichladdich wie er sein muss: selbstbewusst, eigenständig, kräftig, aromatisch und dominant.
Zur eigenwilligen Verpackung: ich finde sie raffiniert und sehr gelungen mit guter Schutzfunktion und schönem Prägedruck.

Kommentar: Ich tue mir schwer und muss sagen, ich habe wesentlich mehr erwartet. Für einen 18er Lady kein Highlight und das PLV nicht okay. Von der merkwürdigen Verpackung möchte ich nicht reden (wirkt auf den Bildern besser). Für das Geld lieber zum 18er Bunna greifen. Schade!
