Bruichladdich Bere Barley Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bruichladdich Bere Barley Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 2013

Item # 50410 750mL

In what is already a formidable portfolio of groundbreaking whiskies, this one is easy to miss but arguably their most important one. Why? Bere Barely is Britain's oldest cereal - by far. And as such it was also a critical ingredient in early distillation, prized for its distinctive and exceptional flavor. Bruichladdich in partnership with the University of the Highlands is essentially single handedly responsible for bringing this whisky back to life and available to us, albeit in extremely small batches, the chance to taste this ancient style. True to legend, the whisky is rich, oily, full bodied and buttery with an unmistakable profile. Aged for 10yrs in bourbon and wine casks. Bottled at 100 proof.
