Serge Valentin (91)

Another
old friend. I’ve had a few but just noticed that I had never taken any
proper tasting notes. How’s that possible? Colour: pale gold. Nose: as I
remembered it, that is go say relatively light, very fruity, and yet
not quite ooh-ah watch my mangos. The trademark melons, guavas, then
‘simple’ apples and ripe gooseberries. All elegance. Mouth: a kind of
supremely elegant green fruitiness. Melon skin, peaches, yellow plums
and a touch of honeydew. Some very racy blue-green tea as well. Very
delicate. Finish: medium long, on more or less the same notes. Lovers of
heavy beasts might not enjoy this style to the max, but I find this
subtlety pretty amazing. Comments: I think this baby remains one of my
favourite ‘contemporary’ bottling of Bruichladdich (not talking about
the peaters), but it may have lost a bit of immediateness after a good
ten years in bottle. It got a little drier, I think.

Original Tasting Notes

Colour: Liquid gold

Body: Concentrated, rich and luscious, the texture is sensational.

Nose: The luxurious nose is butterscotch, mint toffee, sweet oak, honeysuckle, orange blossom and marzipan followed by fabulous scents of melon, peach, soft pear, apricot and banana all dipped in honey. Remarkably fresh and vibrant with stunning aromatics.

Palate: Soft, silky, suave and mouth filling, no heat on the palate at all then after a few moments a wave of warmth fills the chest and lifts the spirits. It´s loaded with fruits, coconut, hazelnuts and creamy oak. The mouth feel is rich, textured and layered. Absolutely classic American oak matured malt whisky.

Finish: Well-balanced lingering aftertaste that translates into a fulfilling Hebridean experience.
