This whisky comes from the Islay barley series from Bruichladdich. The distillery has been on a mission for many years now to showcase the phenomenon of “terroir” in single malt whisky – the belief that soil, climate, micro-climate, geographic orientation, natural influences and local weather systems will influence the quality and flavour profile of the spirit, making it a unique expression of a ‘place’. Bruichladdich Islay barley 2011 is distilled from barley grown on six different western and central Islay farms. This release uses barley from Coull, Rockside, Island, Mulindry, Starchmill and Cruach Farms.
