A Light Islay malt, with a beautiful floral nose. Light peat gives it a nice smooth fruity body, with hints of orange. A nice sweet finish rounds out a nice glass of whisky. I do feel the heart of Bruichladdich gets lost with to many expressions.

A young but good expression from Bruichladdich. Sometimes it's difficult to cut through all of the different expressions that are offered from this Islay distillery. At its core, Bruichladdich makes lightly peated whisky that is much lighter than many of the more pungent whiskies found on Islay. You know your drinking a young whisky but it holds up well with a nice dry peaty finish. Bruichladdich tends to be pricey so this is a nice inexpensive option.

Nose: Fruity, crushed apples, malty, young
Body: Hot, creamy
Finish: Short, dry some peat smoke

Matured in refill Spanish oak, Links is a fruity dram that noses younger than it is. I still don't understand the need for all of the specialty woods from this distillery. When you're maturing whisky on Islay just let the Island and the sea do the work.

Nose: young with a tequila like character, cantaloupe, hints of lemon
Body: Medium with a fruity sweetness
Finish: Medium length, has some bite.

A real step up compared to the younger expressions. No peat to speak of but the dram has an appealing freshness to it that I enjoyed. Reminded me more of a coastal whisky than an Islay. Not too subtle or smooth this one has some character and attitude.

Nose: Fresh sea air, briny, nutty, some oak and vanilla
Body: Sweet and creamy
Finish: Long sharp and flavorful

Very Good.

I enjoyed the 15 more but this is still a good whisky. It just didn't have the same great finish of the 15 year old. Has that freshness in the nose that seems to be a trademark of Bruichladdich.

Nose: Fresh cut grass, sea air, vanilla, oak
Body: Medium, coats the mouth
Finish: Short, dry and a little rough for its age

Seemed younger then it is.
