Bruichladdich 'Infinity' (55.5%, OB)

Brown.  Sherry sweet, hint of sherry.  Mint.  Lightly peated? Sea.  60%? Young.  Strong.  Very strong.  Finished strong.  Ouch!  Hint of tropical fruit.   A little bit nutty finish.  Salty.  Very nice and exceptional one.  Score: 95.  (I was quite surprise to know the answer.  I only gave it 88 last time.  But this one gained high score twice during the blind tasting.  Maybe I was too conservative last time. And I didn’t feel that peaty during the blind tasting?)

Golden brown Very interesting nose.  Sherry influence a lot.  Chocolate.  Orange sweet.  Little peat influence.  Nice nose.  Hint of plum.  Creaming.  Very balance.  Lively.  Sweet but fruity.  Very enjoyable.  Long finish.  Score: 93.  (I thought it would be something speyside.  Not so peaty.  Very nice HP!)

Brown, Malty, sherry.  A little bit toffee.  Light sherry.  Mellow.  Tropical fruit.  A little bit like Longmorn?  Some caramel? But still enjoyable.  Score: 93.  (Feel quite young for me?)

 

 

 

 

Royal Brackla 27yo 1975/2002 'Green Brackla' (59.7%, The Whisky Exchange, cask #5471, 204 bottles)

Golden.  Fruity citrus, a little bit peaty.  Tropical fruit.  Quite warm! Medium body.  Nice.  Score: 92. (I actually didn’t really know it’s a Blackadder. One point higher than my last score.  The total bottling number seems wrong.)
