Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2013 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
FOR SAME DAY UK SHIPPING (MONDAY - FRIDAY)
The 2012 crop of Bere, distilled in 2013, was grown and suppled by the Agronomy Institute of Orkney College (UHI)
Matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill Pauillac wine casks, the single malt delicately balances the malty sweetness of the Bere barley with the oak, with hints of fresh green fruits and lightly spiced gingerbread
Bere Barley is a six-row heritage variety that has long since been forgotten from the modern world of standardised whisky making.
Nose: Aromas of warm citrus, tropical fruit, and sweet malty flour are immediate on the nose. As the whisky opens the sweetness of the fruit, oak and malted Bere barley combine to give an uplifting, sunny feel to the dram, enhanced with fragrant peach skin, fresh vanilla pods, candied orange and creamy fudge. Over time, delicate floral notes of rose and subtle sweet violet appear.Palate: On the palate, the presence of the malted grain is unmistakable with notes of popcorn, brown sugar and warm porridge. The Bere barley provides a soft, rounded mouthfeel, beautifully complementing the sweet, stoned fruit notes. Apricot, peach, melon and candied orange are balanced with the gentle influence of the oak, which adds a hint of vanilla, coconut and marzipan.
Finish: Milk chocolate, malted grain and crème brulee add to the soft finish, while a hint of mango and orange blossom honey linger.
