Bruichladdich Masterclass 8.4 Virgin Oak- 750ml

Nose: A little smoke but gentle and warm. The oak comes with sweet honeyed malt and banana bread. The phenolic muddy notes come again now with a peppery, floral edge. With time the oak gives more and more, toffee popcorn, vanilla fudge, coconut, cinnamon. The smoke fades back a little now.

Palate: A rich texture feels like honey as it slowly builds the flavor of the sweet mellow oak. Leather and toasted wood combine with the delicate smoke. There is balance here as there is no oak note without an equal and complimenting note from the smoke. Praline, coconut, clove are matched with barbecue, burnt heather and iodine. The spirit behind the smoke and oak brings a lemon and salt spray hit once opened with spring water as well as hint of mint and stewed apple.

Finish: Clove, aniseed and coffee grounds fade to peat smoke – the typical, classic Octomore finish that always lingers in your mind.
