Celebrate the purest expression of terroir with Bruichladdich Islay Barley.

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.

TASTE DESCRIPTOR

CEREAL FORWARD BALANCED WITH APRICOT AND PEACH, A HINT OF FRESH GRASS AND A MEDLEY OF TROPICAL FRUITS.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE

Delicate floral notes along with sweet malt and ripe grain open on the nose. Hints of pepper and soft spices follow before the dram reveals soft stoned fruits and creamy vanilla. Creamy vanilla, a hint of coconut, butterscotch, and brown sugar come from the oak, alongside delicate notes of nutmeg and hazelnut. Fruit notes continue to open, with fragrant peach, honeyed melon, pear drops and warm banana bread.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE

PALATE

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 our 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.

FINISH

Sweet, stoned fruits settle on the palate with creamy vanilla custard and a touch of coconut, while a delicate floral note lingers.

CHARACTER

The epitome of our island home, the spirit of Islay runs through this single malt. The unique locale, temperate climate and soils of the island have shaped the barley grown and harvested for this expression. The depth, complexity and balance of flavours combine to create a unique drinking experience – evoking a true sense of place.
