De Molen, Hel & Verdoemenis Bruichladdich BA

Wax capped brilliance from De Molen. I'd have had no idea where Bruichladdich was had my old (Scottish) neighbour not eulogised about it here. I don't really drink spirits anymore if I can avoid it, but I used to enjoy Islay malts and barrel aged stouts are probably the closest I get to drinking whisky these days. Heavy peat nose leading to sweet chocolate, not too much else immediately discernable. Taste is heavy peat, a tang of fruit which then mellowed into choc/coffee. A medium bitter finish. Peaty throughout and always sweet on the lips.
