Delias notes translated by Google

"The nose immediately reveals an impressive play of aromas that fills the room with intense scents. A perfect "Christmas nose" unfolds, in which the aromas of juicy raisins unfold harmoniously. Accompanied by a hint of cinnamon, the whisky unfolds a mixture of typical Christmas spices that evoke memories of festive delights. Over time, sweet caramel and toffee notes join in, while gentle espresso notes round off the olfactory impression. The roundness and complexity of the nose suggest that this whisky is older than the stated 14 years.

The taste of the Bruichladdich 14 years is a real feast for the palate. The raisins come to the fore again and blend with the aromas of ripe plums and a hint of cinnamon, which underlines the complexity of the whisky. The espresso on the nose develops into an intense coffee note that rounds off and refines the taste experience.

The finish is long-lasting and leaves a lasting impression. The raisins are still present and literally linger in the mouth. In addition, there are fine nuances of milk chocolate and a delicate coffee note that round off the experience and pamper the senses."
