BRUICHLADDICH PORT CHARLOTTE SYC:01 2013 10YR ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

Nose: Smoke of course (comes across like hot asphalt in a way), candied bacon, dense raspberry jam, maple syrup, cooked pears, cloves, bread, dark chocolate, petrichor, moss. Sweet, rich, and right up my alley. Overtime, the sweet dessert notes ramp up and turn into a rich caramel. Palate: Rich and full mouth feel. Smoke again of course, but the first note I got was a strawberry syrup. Sweet, kinda creamy, with a light pepperiness. Finish: Long with notes of dark chocolate, lemon zest, and lingering smoke.
