Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2013 10 Year Old

Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2013 10 Year Old This remarkable unpeated Islay single malt champions the use of Bere barley, an ancient and notoriously difficult-to-yield heritage grain known for its profound depth of flavor. Distilled in 2013 and matured for 10 years in a carefully selected combination of first-fill ex-bourbon casks and European oak, this vintage release showcases the distillery's commitment to terroir and agronomy. The result is a texturally brilliant, malt-forward whisky that perfectly captures the pure, coastal essence of the Bruichladdich spirit.

Food Pairing: Freshly shucked oysters, pan-seared scallops in a lemon-herb butter, roasted poultry, and mild, creamy cheeses such as young Gouda or Havarti.

TASTING NOTES

 A vibrant, bright golden hue in the glass, characterized by a remarkably viscous, robust, and creamy mouthfeel that beautifully coats the palate.

NOSE - Bright and floral, bursting with sweet malty notes, honeysuckle, crisp green apples, ripe peaches, and a delicate dusting of icing sugar mixed with a fresh sea breeze.

FINISH - Refreshing, long, and rich, leaving a lingering sweetness of barley sugar, creamy vanilla pod, zesty lemon peel, and a soft, maritime salinity.

SERVE - Best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate the unique, concentrated characteristics of the heritage grain, or with a single drop of water to open up deeper orchard fruit and floral layers.
