Bruichladdich Islay Barley Unpeated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2012

This whisky was created to show the effect that soil, climate, geographic orientation and natural influences can have on a whisky’s flavor profile. Distilled from barley grown on six farms in both western and central Islay, this whisky has a flavor unique to the island. A sweet and fruity spirit, this single malt also holds a refreshing saline quality that cuts through flavors of apples, gooseberries, vanilla and citrus. Great structure. Firm, muscular and more complex than expected. Several layers of flavor are melding into a barley sugar and oak mellowed texture while drifting over sweet kiln-dried barley. The senses are singing with joy as it zings over the palate leaving no doubt as to the island of its birth.
