The Bruichladdich Islay Barley Single Malt from the 2011 vintage is a captivating expression that embodies the essence of the Hebridean island. This single malt whisky is crafted using barley varieties known as Publican and Oxbridge, which are sourced from six distinct farms around Islay. Bruichladdich, renowned for its commitment to transparency, provides detailed insight into the cask types used in the maturation process. The whisky's aging is a meticulously orchestrated symphony, with 75% maturing in first-fill American whiskey casks, 15% in second and third-fill Sauternes and Austrian sweet wine casks, and 10% in first-fill Rivesaltes wine casks. Following this elaborate maturation, the whisky is carefully married together for six months before being bottled.

Tasting Notes

Bruichladdich Islay Barley Single Malt 2011 offers a complex and layered tasting experience:

Barley Essence: The whisky's character reflects the barley's influence, with a pronounced cereal-like quality, offering a sense of the Islay terroir and the barley's inherent earthy notes.
Orchard Fruits: Subtle notes of orchard fruits, such as apples and pears, provide a delicate and refreshing fruitiness.
Wine Influence: The casks previously used for Sauternes, Austrian sweet wine, and Rivesaltes wine contribute unique flavors. Expect hints of honeyed sweetness, dried fruits, and an elegant wine-like complexity.
Vanilla and Oak: The first-fill American whiskey casks lend vanilla and oak notes, creating a balanced and harmonious backbone for the whisky.
Maritime Undertones: As with many Islay whiskies, a subtle maritime influence can be detected, adding a hint of sea breeze and brine to the overall profile.
