The Bruichladdich 2013 Islay Barley whisky is a single malt Scotch whisky crafted from barley grown on seven different farms on the island of Islay. This whisky epitomizes the "farm to glass" ethos, with the grain sourced within a mere 10 miles of the Bruichladdich distillery. Distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2021, this 8-year-old expression boasts a robust ABV of 50%. Its maturation journey involves a unique mix of 75% first-fill Bourbon barrels and 25% wine casks, including those from Ribera del Duero, Syrah, Pauillac, and some second and third fill sweet white wine casks from prestigious wine estates.
The careful selection of casks imparts a rich and intricate flavor profile to this unpeated whisky. The spirit carries notes of rich vanilla and oak spice layered with Bruichladdich's signature yellow fruits and honey. The palate is a harmonious balance of subtle citrus and coastal minerality, providing a clean and approachable experience. Any whisky enthusiast looking for a unique and delectable dram will find this latest edition of the Islay Barley single malt Scotch whisky a must-try.
