Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014

EX VAT Price:

This is the 2014 vintage of the unpeated, locally grown single malt Bruichladdich Islay Barley. It's distilled from Concerto and Propino barley grown on eight local farms (Coull, Rockside, Island, Mulindry, Cruach, Dunlossit, Craigens and Sunderland Farms), all within an 11-mile radius of Bruichladdich. It was predominantly matured in first-fill bourbon casks (80%) along with a combination of second-fill sherry butts (5%) and second-fill wine casks (15%) for over eight years before it was bottled at 50% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Pale gold.

Nose: Delicate floral notes along with sweet malt and ripe grain open on the nose. Hints of pepper and soft spices follow before the dram reveals soft stoned fruits and creamy vanilla. Creamy vanilla, a hint of coconut, butterscotch, and brown sugar come from the oak, alongside delicate notes of nutmeg and hazelnut. Fruit notes continue to open, with fragrant peach, honeyed melon, pear drops and warm banana bread.

Palate: Creamy vanilla and lemon are immediate on the palate, with a peppery nutmeg spice giving way to sweet malt, warm porridge and popcorn. The depth of flavour and creamy, viscous texture is typical of our Islay barley style, with the natural oils from the barley enhanced with layers of sweet citrus, tropical fruit and fragrant peach. The combination of American and French oak makes for a beautifully balanced expression, with a drop of water bringing out subtle marine notes.

Finish: Sweet, stoned fruits settle on the palate with creamy vanilla custard and a touch of coconut, while a delicate floral note lingers.
