Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2012

50% abv

Vol- 70cl

Today organic farmers are rediscovering farming of a pre-industrial era, the reconnection with time-honoured working of the land that had been unchanged for five thousand years. It celebrates individuality, the delicate harmony between soil, subsoil, bedrock, microclimate, and plant. The French have a word for this concept: terroir. Scotland, by default, had its own terroir too: specific farms that grew barley in a soil that lived and breathed – not inert, dead, waiting for its next chemical fix. This produced the whiskies of the nineteenth century and before. Sadly, today it is homogenous, standard barley, most of it not even grown in Scotland. Bruichladdich’s Bere Barley limited releases is a return to more interesting barley selections with resulting flavours

Colour – Pale winter sunlight.
Nose – Green fruits – gooseberries, apples and pears.
Palate – A honey-soft texture with rich and malty sweetness and great depth.
Finish – A gentle dryness with a hint of oak. Honeysuckle

Bruichladdich was built by Barnett Harvey in 1881. The distillery sits across the road from the North Atlantic Ocean, on the blustery island of Islay. Bruichladdich was given new life by Mark Reynier and Jim McEwan in 2001 and has been under the ownership of Remy Cointreau since 2012.

Three different styles of whisky are created at Bruichladdich with three different names representing varying degrees of peat; Bruichladdich: Always unpeated, light, floral and fruity. Port Charlotte: Heavily Peated and elegant, retains the finesse of Bruichladdich but with a backbone of peat. Octomore: the worlds most heavily peated whisky ranging from 107ppm (phenolic parts per million) to above 300ppm. The Botanist Gin is also distilled at Bruichladdich with the 22 botanicals used in distillation foraged from the island.
