Bruichladdich 2010, first Rivesaltes Barrique, 11 year old, 63.1%

Nose: Brittle without the peanuts, that intense pine note is still quite present, egg salad, raw cedar, nice touch of the rivesaltes.

Palate: Big wood, dried cranberries, white isn’t not necessarily rubber sulfury, I flinched. Veers more vegetal towards the finish.

Rating: 3 (Shane) 4 (Ryan) / 10 – kinda gave me whiplash. ouch.
