“Because you can't buy happiness... but you can buy whisky and that's pretty much the same thing”

Bruichladdich 17 years old Microprovenance Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Bruichladdich

“Lovely whisky with a bit of everything: malt, honey, peat and spices. Gorgeous.”

90
Bruichladdich 17 year Micro-Provenance Cask 71
This was made using something called "Cask Evolution Exploration". One suspects that means "finishing it in something exotic-sounding." This was aged in bourbon casks, before a finish in Tempranillo wine casks, bottled in February 2009 in individually numbered bottles.

This dram has a gold-like color.

Nose (89): more than average. honey, citrus, peat, plums, cocoa.

Palate (90): smooth, powerful, oily. honey, peat, wood, citrus, biscuits, cinnamon.

Finish (90): longer than average. honey, spices, wood, floral.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Bruichladdich 17 year Micro-Provenance Cask 71 with 90 points over 100.
