Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014 is a celebration of provenance, place, and patience. Distilled in 2014 from 100% Islay-grown barley (Concerto and Propino varieties) and aged for eight years, this unpeated single malt captures the essence of its island home. Every grain was cultivated on eight local farms—Coull, Rockside, Island, Mulindry, Cruach, Dunlossit, Craigens, and Sunderland—all within an 11-mile radius of the distillery, ensuring complete traceability from farm to glass.

Matured predominantly in first-fill bourbon casks (80%), with additional influence from second-fill sherry butts (5%) and second-fill wine casks (15%), the oak enhances rather than masks the cereal-forward character of the spirit. Bottled at 50% ABV, this single vintage expression showcases the depth, natural oils, and complexity that define Bruichladdich’s Islay barley style.

The result is a whisky of pale gold hue, offering delicate elderflower and honeyed sweetness balanced by gentle pepper and ginger spice, ripe orchard fruits, and a subtle maritime whisper—an authentic reflection of Islay’s soil, climate, and coastal air.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Pale Gold

Nose:
Delicate floral aromas open with elderflower and sweet malted grain. Soft pepper and gentle spice rise alongside creamy vanilla, coconut, butterscotch, and brown sugar from the oak. Layers of ripe stone fruits—apricot and peach—unfold with honeyed melon, pear drops, and warm banana bread. Subtle nutmeg and hazelnut add complexity.

Palate:
Creamy vanilla and bright lemon zest arrive first, followed by a peppery nutmeg warmth. Sweet malt, warm porridge, and fresh popcorn build a comforting cereal core. The texture is creamy and viscous, highlighting the barley’s natural oils. Sweet citrus, tropical fruits, and fragrant peach are balanced beautifully by the interplay of American and French oak influence. A drop of water reveals a gentle marine freshness.

Finish:
Lingering sweet stone fruits and creamy vanilla custard fade gracefully, with a touch of coconut and a delicate floral note echoing softly at the close.
