Friday’s Pick: Bruichladdich Legacy 6
December 7th, 2007Bruichladdich Legacy 6, 34 year old, 41%, $550
The sixth and last bottling from the Legacy series. Legacy 6 is a marriage of six casks from 1965, 1970, and 1972. Soft and mellow on the nose and palate, with unbelievably restrained oak for such a mature whisky. Delicious notes of coconut, soothing vanilla, caramel custard, and banana cream, peppered with spice notes of cinnamon, mint, and teaberry that emerges on a soft finish that fades out gently. A fitting end to the Legacy series. I’m sad to see them go.

Bill, if I had them, I would post them. I didn’t get review samples of a few of them. (Importing and PR issues on their end.) The others are posted up on the Buyer’s Guide section of the Malt Advocate webste (http://maltadvocate.com/buyer.asp).
