Bruichladdich X4 New Make Spirit

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 50%

This product is without box

A malt spirit from Islay. This was distilled at Bruichladdich, and was the first quadruple pot-distilled spirit made from just barley in around three centuries! The spirit reached an eye-watering 92% ABV in the stills, brought down to a hearty 50% before bottling.

Tasting Note

Nose

Candy sticks and sugar syrup arrive first with a jammy scent swiftly following. Then comes the spirit with a slight methynated spirityness and notes of sweet potato.

Palate

Very spirit forward like poteen with a nuttiness that becomes more jammy with water.

Finish

Very hot, spirity and clean with a longer finish than would be expected for this style of drink.

Overall

A true accomplishment in how far a pot still can be pushed.
