With a “limited” run of 12,000 bottles the Bruichladdich 1990/27, or HB’90 for short, was released exclusively to the travel retail market succeeding the fantastic 1990/25 Sherry Cask. The HB’90 is unpeated spirit distilled in 1990 where it then spent 17 years maturing in ex-bourbon casks, before transferred to French oak casks from Bordeaux.
Nose: Fruit monster. Tart green apples, a twist of orange peel, a dash of lemon zest, strawberry, papaya and apricot jam. After a few moments, heavier notes appear – figs, fresh toasted bagels and vanilla macrons. The tartness dissipates, though the fruitiness remains in the essence of an old-fashioned.
Palate: The palate is more tame. Tart red-fruits are layered in with vermouth, rye, and maraschino cherries – like a spin on a rye Manhattan. Toasted oak takes a moment before bursting onto the palate.
