Bruichladdich 10 Year Old 2001 Glengarry Cask Owners

The Belgian whisky club Glengarry, lead by the Flemish guru Bob Minnekeer, bottles a cask from time to time.

The peat bombs that Bruichladdich markets under the name Octormore are usually quite fruity and quaffable. This Ochdamh Mor is 5 years old and was released in 2013.

Bruichladdich Rocks

Nose: Quite simple, a range of different jams, red fruits, slight maltyness and saltyness Palate: Jams again, red fruits (stawberry's, Rassberrys ect.), hints of pepper, cooked vinilla. Finish: Basically the same as the palate, fades to a vinilla sweetness. Very simple but very nice. Cheep as well. I think I had the 2nd batch of this bottling.
