Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2007 50% 70cl

Made from barley harvested in 2006 at the Rockside Farm in Islay, the Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2007 has notes of citrus and orange peel with a rich creaminess. Bruichladdich places a strong importance on terroir and has slowly distilled this Islay unpeated single malt scotch to keep as much delicate flavours as possible.

Nose: The bouquet amazes with the freshness of the spirit, the first notes to evolve are honey & lemon zest derived from the cask & salt encrusted barley. Then savour aromas of flora & fauna growing wild on the peat- lands & coastline of Islay, followed by the soft fruits from distillation, the sweetness of sun- dried barley, the creme-brulee notes of caramelised wood sugars provided by the 100 year old American oak. Transport yourself to Islay simply by closing your eyes and inhaling. The key to this spirit is the unique citrus freshness of barley grown in salty soil.

Palate: The oak has been waiting patiently and now it cradles all of the aromatics. The flavours of this island detonate across the palate. Made and matured by the ocean by real artisans, working with Victorian equipment.

Finish:With no chill filtration the palate is bathed in an amazing spiritual composition. The viscosity of spirit ensures that the taste buds will still be experiencing the strong pulse of passion that has gone into the making of this true son of Islay, finally leaving you with a feeling of sublime contentment.
