There was a gap between the aroma and flavor, which made it delicious. Bruichladdich BRUICHLADDICH 1969-1996 27yo GM 'CASK' #1970,2971 54.2% The aroma is sweet and mellow, with strong notes of crème brûlée, apple pie, a thick barley sensation supporting from the back, and faint old peat. When drinking, it starts with a smooth mouthfeel that expands into rich aromas. The barley's umami gradually intensifies, with a chewy texture, a hint of peach, the sweetness of honey with depth, and a gentle oak finish. It leaves a lingering aftertaste of subtle peach and barley umami, with some oiliness. [Very Good] This is Bruichladdich 1969, aged for 27 years from the GM CASK series. The aroma was impressively sweet with notes of apple pie and crème brûlée. A strong, thick barley umami sensation supports the flavor, with old peat also making an appearance. When drinking, the barley notes come forward more than the aroma, with a chewy texture that delivers concentrated umami. The rich sweetness and gentle oak sensation are pleasant, with good aging characteristics making it very delicious. It was a charming malt that has reached its perfect drinking moment.
