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.
100% Malted Barley

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.

Tobermory (Ledaig Whiskies) 23 Year Old
The newest release in the Tobermory core range, this is an exquisite sherried malt, entwined with salted toffee and floral honey, finishing with caramelised walnuts and a subtle salty undercurrent. The 'return of an old friend', this spirit was originally our Tobermory 15 Year Old release. We left the whisky in its Oloroso casks for 8 more years to create this delicious 23 year old whisky. Like all our single malts, this whisky is non-chill filtered and natural colour.
