Leather, old books, butterscotch and barbecue sauce make this single cask released for 2021’s virtual Feis Ile an aromatic pleasure. There’s not much in the way of traditional Bruichladdich flavors or any sense of barley in the glass, but tastes of caramel, well-done brownies and some oak spice put it at the interesting end of the sherry cask spectrum. It finishes dry with an umami aftertaste of mushrooms.
