A few weeks ago already (I know, I’m running late on my review schedule… Shhhh,\u00a0you’re not without knowing GoT started again right a few weeks ago… Coincidence? I don’t think so!),<\/em> Bruichladdich<\/a> released two new travel retail expressions and I had the chance to receive a sample of both *insert sunglasses emoji here* – Let’s then review them!<\/strong><\/p>\n
First new release I’m reviewing today is The Laddie Eight<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0latest exclusive for Global Travel Retail released by head distiller Adam Hannett. Surprisingly enough, this new expression comes with an age statement (8 years old – meaning that, by law, the youngest whisky entering in its composition is actually 8 years old but there could be some older juices in there), contrarily to the current trend in travel retail… Bottled in-house and over strength at\u00a050% ABV.<\/p>\n
Finish:<\/strong> lingering with some pleasant citrusy notes<\/p>\n
Recommended Food pairing:<\/strong> time for a raspberry sorbet & fresh fruit salad!<\/p>\n
Our second expression is the new Port Charlotte 2007 CC:01<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0. It\u00a0has been matured full term in casks of the finest French oak [Quercus robur] which previously held one of the greatest Eau de Vie, from the western Cognac region. This travel retail exclusive comes at 57.8% ABV.<\/p>\n
Recommended Food pairing:<\/strong> citrus-cured salmon gravadlax *drooling*<\/p>\n
