Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2012
Our Islay barley series has always been a mission. For many years now we've sought 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 'place'. Bruichladdich Islay barley 2012 is distilled from barley grown on eight western and central Islay farms in 2011.

Nose: The nose is light, delicate, and floral with creamy vanilla, honey, fruit, and citrus aromas. The sweetness of the Islay grain comes through beautifully along with hints of oak spice, toffee, and chocolate.
Palate: On the palate, you'll find cereal, oak, as well as Bruichladdich's characteristic fruity and floral notes, as well as a pleasant creaminess with brown sugar and toffee.
Finish: There's brine on the finish with salted caramel, charred oak, and fruit.

Aberlour 18 Year Old
Spicy and luxurious. The mature, deep, spicy one: a deeper Sherry influence adds more spiciness and a liquorice tang. Greater age adds body and develops the distinctive fruitiness to a rich raisin character.

Nose: Rich and complex notes of toffee and butterscotch combine with ripe peach and bitter orange.
Palate: Perfect structure. Initial notes of soft apricot and cream are offset by developing flavours of blackcurrant jam and sweet oak with a touch of honey.
Finish: Very long and balanced, progresses from creme brulee to a gentle oak flourish
