Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2012
Our Islay barley series has always been a mission. For many years now we've sought to showcase the phenomenon of aterroira in single malt whisky- the belief that soil, climate, micro-climate, geographic orientation, natural influences and local weather systems will influence the quality and flavour profile of the spirit, making it a unique expression of 'place'. Bruichladdich Islay barley 2012 is distilled from barley grown on eight western and central Islay farms in 2011.
100% Malted Barley

Nose: The nose is light, delicate, and floral with creamy vanilla, honey, fruit, and citrus aromas. The sweetness of the Islay grain comes through beautifully along with hints of oak spice, toffee, and chocolate.
Palate: On the palate, you'll find cereal, oak, as well as Bruichladdich's characteristic fruity and floral notes, as well as a pleasant creaminess with brown sugar and toffee.
Finish: There's brine on the finish with salted caramel, charred oak, and fruit.

Nose: Rich sherry dominates with intense aromas of stewed raisins, dark brown sugar, polished leather, and warm baking spices
Palate: A powerful, oily arrival of sherry-soaked fruits, caramel, and chocolate orange is balanced by significant oak spice, dried apricots, and robust nutty undertones
Finish: Exceptionally long and warming, leaving behind lingering notes of creamy cocoa, dried figs, peppery oak, and a slight, smoky sweetness.
