Introducing Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2009 Scotch Whiskey

Experience the perfection of Scotch Whiskey with our Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2009. Crafted with passion and expertise, this exceptional vintage takes you on a journey to the heart of Islay. Distilled from grain grown in 2008 by Gilbie McCormick of Claggan, Hunter Jackson at Cruach, Ian McKerrell of Island, and Alastair Torrance from Mulindry, this Scotch Whiskey is a true testament to the island’s rich terroir.

TASTE PROFILE: This remarkable whiskey surprises and delights with its complex layers of flavors. It boasts a firm and muscular structure, harmoniously melding barley sugar and oak textures. Expect a delightful interplay of sweet kiln-dried barley drifting over your palate, leaving no doubt of its Islay birthplace.

NOSE: A symphony of enticing aromas awaits. Soft and ripe gooseberries, fresh pineapple, and mango greet your senses. Imagine a global orchard in harvest time, with notes of sweet red apple, plump green grapes, and a hint of peach. Harmonious scents of carnations, mimosa, and mint further enhance this sensory journey. As you wander through golden fields of Islay barley, the fragrance deepens with the emergence of sweet vanilla, spicy bourbon, and toasted oak. Dark plums join dates in offering an irresistible richness derived from exceptional Oloroso casks. Prepare for an extraordinary olfactory experience.

PALATE: The taste is a revelation. This young spirit showcases malty sweetness, clean cereal notes, and a refreshing touch of citrus. It exemplifies how trickle distillation, using Victorian equipment and 134 years of mastery, can produce an exceptional whiskey that doesn’t rely on heavy oak influence. Discover delightful flavors of candied almonds, toffee apple, nougat wafers, banana, ginger biscuits, and hints of sherried sponge. As you savor each sip, the Hebridean halo gently reveals the marine flavors unique to whiskey matured on Islay’s wild west coast. Truly a tale of two cities, this palate journey is a testament to the harmony of traditions and terroir.

FINISH: Immerse yourself in the warm embrace of an island’s spirit. Experience the sincerity of Islay’s people, its rich history, and its promising future. With every sip, you become part of our Bruichladdich family. Welcome to an extraordinary Scotch Whiskey experience.
