Bruichladdich 12 Year Old (Second Edition)

I thought I had better write this up as it is the last of the bottle. It had a clear and appealing golden colour in the glass. The nose was warm and buttery. The first impression on tasting was the smoothness and approachability of this malt. Initially it was warming with a mellow and sweet butteriness coupled with an oaky dryness in the follow. On the whole this was a classic low peat Bruichladdich. The bottle says 46% alcohol but this was so smooth I wouldn't dream of diluting it.
