Bruichladdich Distillery

Bruichladdich Organic Barley 2012 10 Years Old

ABV: 50% 70 cL

This Bruichladdich single malt was distilled using unpeated organic barley from Mid Coul farm, located close to Inverness in the north of Scotland, which has been supplying organically grown barley for the Bruichladdich Distillery since 2003.


With no artificial input, the barley grown for The Organic 2012 is the purest expression of its terroir. Benefiting from a slow distillation and matured exclusively on Islay, this vintage showcases the clarity of flavour from the barley with notes of creamy fudge, honeyed citrus and subtle spice – with a beautifully rounded mouthfeel.

Nose

Cereal notes, with dried hay, barley straw and malty biscuit. Crème brûlée, coconut, butterscotch, and vanilla from the oak follow with earthy enhanced by floral notes and sweet dried apricot and pear.

Palate

Creamy texture, with a peppery hint of spice followed by floral heather honey, followed by notes of warm scones and barley strawm, with fresh vanilla, marzipan and coconut.

Finish

The malty character of the spirit is unmistakable on the finish, while almond and butterscotch notes from the oak linger.
