After this nice weekend I want to try a special whisky today.
From my buddy I have received a sample of Cuvee.
So off it into the glass. Already at the first smell I have orange and berries in my nose. In my mind a picture of sliced ​​oranges garnished with raspberries and honey dribbled over them.
The warmer the whisky becomes, the stronger the cream note becomes. Again and again comes a surge of raspberry or blackberry. Over time, a slight touch of freshness develops. So let's try the, until now, really great stuff.
It is soft in the mouth and lays soft on the tongue, like a piece of dark chocolate.
Orange is back, with a slight touch of wood. In the finish I also have the taste of dark chocolate or cocoa in the mouth, followed by a subtle, bitter note. In the mouth and in the cheek he stays comfortable.
In the area of ​​the Lippenbändchen it tingles really nice.
I find the combination of fruit, chocolate, woodiness and tingling on the tongue fascinating.
I really like the Cuvee. A very special Bruichladdich.
I would immediately buy a bottle, unfortunately, the Bruichladdich Cuvee, or the Cuvee series, for the most part only to be found among collectors. The Bruichladdich Cuvee 407 gets from me 90 out of 100 points.

More complex like most other sherry, oak Whiskys, witch start fruity but fade fast. So after 100 Experiments of Heavy Marketing, surprisingly they hit the point here. With the advantage that the wood is not too much bitter at the end.
Just a very few Destilleries know how to make a sherryfinish without too much bitterness from oak.
Macallan knows, but for a Bruichladdich it’s really unexpected balanced. Luckily the Sharp biting notes of most Bruichladdichs are missing :-)
