Bruichladdich The Organic (en)

Another bottle for every budget, this bottle which costs 33 euros was appreciated but not unanimous. 17 points separate the lowest score (70) and highest (87). The average of all ratings is 80.81.
Here are the extremes notes:

Blackmalt
Color white wine

Farmy nose first. Smells of cheese on which jam fruit would have been spread. The fruitiness is more apparent with aeration, with a good amount of coffee and some woody taste.

Hot mouth. Taste of newsprint. Farmy smells are still present with a touch of menthol ash. Exotic sweet fruit thereafter. Good feeling.

Final some bitterness. A woody return and a slightly spicy finish. Long and persistent, but with finesse. And maybe the same farmy side as during the nosing ...
87/100



Stephane
Nose: Paperboard, cereal porridge, white and yellow fruits (pear, quince), touch of vanilla.

Taste: Spicy (ginger, mild curry, vanilla). William's pear liqueur, a touch of citrus. Cereal bar.

Not really a bad dram, but the lack of maturity and complexity is evident, it appears to be closer to a new spirit than to a mature single malt. However, the potential seems interesting, the ingredients are in place to give quality older whisky.
70/100
