whisky tasting - bruichladdich infinity Sherry cask malt

Nose:  a mix of treacle covered bacon with Smokey overtones. Iodine a little
spirit from the young casks? I guess the sweetness is from the sherry but I can’t tell to be honest.  Oh, after a while I can smell a drop of coconut.


Pallet:  bitterness and a little salty burned wood.  Just like drinking licker through a charred burned plank but not bad.  I get a lavender soapy flavour from this malt and am not so impressed by it like kissing a lassie with dodgy perfume on her tit,  sorry, kneck.

Finnish, smoky and long.

Comments:  now, this is a nice dram but not £40.00worth.  mixing young peaty malt with old sherry casqued stock is taking the piss if the ratios are wrong and it doesn’t float my boat.
Score:  79%, just because it could have been so good but failed!!
