Comments:

Lots of stuff going on - like being in the middle of some fireworks going off. Green apples are an interesting flavour component. This bottling just goes to show how fast the world of whisky changes - it's been discontinued! Bruichladdich has brought in a limited edition series of 15 yo bottlings themed around golf, and some no-age statement bottlings themed around flavours - Peat, Rocks, and so on.

Verdict:

I like this.
