Remarks:
delicious Bruichladdich that definitely needs some water to open up.
Overall I rate this Whisky: 
- Nose:
very fruity, fruit acid, ginger, grapes, pepper, slightly alcoholic pungent.
With a little water the alcohol decreases and the fruity notes become more intense. The distillery character also comes through now as well as some vanilla and caramel. After about 20 minutes in the glass, a strong sulfur note appears. - Taste:
lots of fruit, some fruit sour, slightly creamy, grapes, some ginger and pepper, oily.
With a little water, a slight sweetness comes through and the other aromas, especially the fruity ones, appear more intense. Slight sulfur note after about 20 minutes in the glass. - Finish:
Strongly fruity at the beginning with fruit acid. Slightly oily. Becomes a little bitter later.
Adding water doesn’t change much here. Only the sulfur comes into play here as well.
