Details

Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2013 is a single malt Scotch whisky that epitomizes the terroir-driven philosophy of the Bruichladdich distillery. Crafted exclusively from barley grown on the rugged island of Islay, this whisky offers a unique sense of place, capturing the essence of the island's maritime climate and fertile soil. Distilled in 2013 and matured on Islay, this expression is a testament to Bruichladdich's commitment to showcasing the raw ingredients that make their whiskies truly special.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: The aroma is fresh and inviting, with notes of malted barley, green apples, and citrus zest. There’s a gentle hint of sea breeze, combined with sweet floral undertones and a touch of vanilla.
  • Palate: On the palate, the whisky is light yet complex, with flavors of honeyed barley, ripe pears, and lemon curd. The maritime influence is evident with a subtle brininess, complemented by a creamy texture and a whisper of oak spice.
  • Finish: The finish is long and clean, with lingering notes of malt, fresh fruit, and a delicate touch of smoke, leaving a lasting impression of the Islay landscape.

Why It's Special: Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2013 is a celebration of provenance and authenticity.

The 2013 vintage is particularly noteworthy for its balance and purity, making it a standout in the Bruichladdich portfolio.

Pairing Suggestions:

  • Cheese: Pair with soft, creamy cheeses like brie or camembert, which complement the whisky's creamy texture and subtle sweetness.
  • Seafood: Enjoy with smoked salmon or fresh oysters to enhance the maritime notes in the whisky.
  • Dessert: Works well with light desserts such as lemon tart or poached pears, which mirror the whisky's citrus and fruit flavors.

Serving Recommendations: Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2013 is best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its intricate flavors and textures. For those who prefer, a few drops of water can help to open up the whisky, revealing additional layers of complexity. Serve in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the aromas and enhance the tasting experience.
