Whisky Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014

Creamy vanilla and lemon are immediate on the palate, with a peppery nutmeg spice giving way to sweet malt, warm porridge and popcorn. The depth of flavour and creamy, viscous texture is typical of Islay barley style, with the natural oils from the barley enhanced with layers of sweet citrus, tropical fruit and fragrant peach. The combination of American and French oak makes for a beautifully balanced expression, with a drop of water bringing out subtle marine notes.

Celebrate the purest expression of terroir with Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014. Fully traceable and high provenance, a medley of apricot and peach complements the cereal-forward single malt, with a subtle maritime note nodding to the whisky’s all Islay harvest, distillation and maturation.

Bruichladdich was founded in 1881 on Islay. During its centuries-old history, the company has experienced a series of ups and downs, but in 2001, after Jim McEwan and several investors bought the company, Bruichladdich regained its former strength.
