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.

Tamdhu was born in 1897, on the banks of the River Spey. Now, as then, every drop is crafted with the same care- starting with water drawn from our own spring. While all Tamdhu matures exclusively in the finest Oloroso sherry casks, Tamdhu Batch Strength 006 goes further still. Each cask is meticulously hand-selected to create this one-of-a-kind release. Moreover, a high proportion of these casks are first-fill: the very best of the very best. This scarce wood bears two great gifts: colour and taste. The deep copper hue of Tamdhu Batch Strength 006 is developed by the cask, nothing more- and each drop owes its rich, complex taste to its Oloroso cask home. Finally, Batch Strength 006 is bottled un-chillfiltered at high strength. A magnificent Speyside Single Malt for the sherry wood connoisseur.
