Bruichladdich "Islay Barley 2012" Heavily Peated Islay Barley Single Malt Scotch .750L

Unpeated Islay single malt Scotch whisky, distilled using 100% Islay barley with great structure, firm, muscular and more complex than one might expect. A stunning example of how trickle distillation using Victorian equipment and 134 years of practice can produce a young spirit that needs not the weight of oak to shine. This release is crafted by Master Distiller Jim McEwan, matured by the shores of Loch Indaal.

Nose: Soft, ripe gooseberries, fresh pineapple and mango. vanilla notes emerge with hints of spicy bourbon and a touch of toasted oak. Dark plums appear with dates and that Oloroso richness that only Jerez casks can provide. One could spend a day with the aromatics alone, a very special experience. Palate: Malty sweet, cereal, honey, fresh citrus with candied almonds, hints of toffee, apple, banana, ginger biscuits and notes of sherry on the finish. - Fresh Fruit and Vanilla -
