1970s Old Smuggler 3cl Bruichladdich

1970s Old Smuggler 3cl BruichladdichColour: Amber. Nose: Radically different to the White Horse. This is far fresher and full of wood resins, sap, ointment, various teas, oils, some old fruitcake, aged cognac, raisins, rancio and roasted chestnuts. I never smelled an old blended whisky like this before. Wonderful complexity on the nose, develops a marvellously leafy, earthy and nervous edge with more dark fruits think dates, prunes and sultanas notes of pipe tobacco and old leather.

meaty… Love this bittersweet profile
