Bruichladdich Islay Barley

Bruichladdich distils most of its whisky unpeated, and this version uses only barley grown on Islay farms, with the harvest stated on the label. The distillery argues that where the barley is grown shows in the flavour. Bottled at 50% ABV, it is fruity, cereal-led and somewhat maritime, with honey, citrus and flowers. A smoke-free, fresh and very particular Islay malt.

Nose

Barley, honey, lemon, wild flowers and a touch of sea breeze.

Palate

Lively. Cereal, fresh fruit, honey, vanilla, salt and spice, with good body.

Finish

Long and clean, with cereal, salt and a hint of citrus.
