An interesting whisky, this 16 year old from Bruichladdich is 100% bourbon matured. This dram is bold & flavourful & needs to embellishments to prove its worth. Nose: Spice & wood, with some bourbon notes mingled in Palate: Soft yet rather a spicy impression. A lot of oak comes through on the palate & an abundance of spice. Quite explosive. Finish: Lingering fruit after a dry & spicy finish
