Bruichladdich 2012 Islay Barley Unpeated Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Product Description

Burichladdich: Barely provenance series. Since day one at Bruichladdich the integrity and provenance of our barely has been paramount. This series explores the diversity of our essential raw material. Our Islay Barely series has always been a mission for many years now we've sought to showcase the phenomenon of "terroir" 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." Nowhere is this philosophy more important to us than here on Islay. Surely the conditions here on this westerly rock at the edge of the Atlantic must bring something extra to the barely and to our expressive, floral single malt whisky? Surely the airborn salt spray that washes the fields and our warehouses must leave its mark on cask and liquid? This 2012 Islay Barely release is distilled from barely grown on eight farms, from across our small island. The terroir driven spirit has been matured in a combination of 75% first fill American oak and 25% refill French oak. This specific recipe allows a balance between the oak and barely forward spirit, never dominating this true expression of Islay.
