Bruichladdich Links, Augusta Major 16th Hole

Scotland's national sport, was their own invention, and it became so popular worldwide that it moves millions of dollars annually. We are talking about golf. Having said that, Bruichladdich released a special collection called "LINKS", which is a particular type of golf course that has the sea near to it, making the grass of the course to be more rugged and difficult. The most popular golf courses are the ones from the majors, and maybe the most popular of all is "The Masters". The Masters is the Augusta Major, played in the United States. This whisky, Bruichladdich Links, Augusta Major, honours a specific hole, number 16, known as redbud. Bottled at 46%abv, pale straw color, this is a 14yo single malt. On the nose, it starts with Raisins dipped in brie cheese. Oranges, orange spongy cake. Candied fruits and yeast. A soapy / detergent note and recently baked brownies. On the palate is quite good. Orange Cake; almost dead grey grass, pepper and a rancid vanilla. It is very "cakey". Lime and marshmallows. Aftertaste is where the peat lived. Burnt hay, tobacco, sulphur and metallic notes, it is like licking the glue of an envelope. Some cigarrette notes as well. Roasted marshmallow. Overall, this is a vintage "Laddie" and it was quite a good one. I liked the sweetness from the nose and palate and the slight peatiness from the aftertaste. A nice surprise, a very collectible bottle that has been lost for years now. My score for it is 91 over 100.
