Bruichladdich 30 Year Old Tasting Notes

Without water

Nose: Focussed with hints of espresso, dark chocolate truffles and caramel. Then toasted notes with linseed and extra virgin olive oil.

Palate: Delicate texture, lightly creamy vanilla broadens into panna cotta, chocolate truffles and espresso. Then crisp toasted notes usher in malty, digestive biscuits and linseed. A finale of orange marmalade on buttery, well-done toast.

Finish: Juicy fruit and balancing dryness, with a medley of figs, light oak, toasted notes, espresso, raisins and chocolate truffles.

With water

Nose: More pronounced fruit, then oak. Linseed and extra virgin olive oil take over, with lemon tart, brioche and digestive biscuits at the edges.

Palate: More integrated, with juicy citrus top notes and pronounced malty, digestive biscuits on a platform of dry oak, garnished by sweetness and richness.

Finish: Gradually opens up with a balance of fruit and oak, with malt notes and dryness growing.

Comment: A perfect digestif dram. But, it doesn’t need to be a sequel to a good dinner, it’s an event in itself

About The Qilin

The Qilin is a magical beast whose mythology combines the essence of Scotland with the spirit of Asia. Galloping through eastern forests, proudly sporting a majestic horn and with a wreath of divine flames coating its equine form, it mirrors the Unicorn, the national symbol of Scotland. Their distant familial ties interweave the sterling values of Scotland with the magic of Asia, representing wisdom, justice and truth. Legend has it that all who commune with the Qilin reap the rewards of its benevolent spirit, finding good fortune and prosperity. Rich in character and flavour, echoing ages past, the Qilin brings elements of ancient mythology into the modern age.
