Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2013 is the eighth edition in this series of single malts crafted using 100% barley grown on the Isle of Islay. It was distilled in 2013 from Concerto barley varieties harvested in 2012 from seven Islay farms, each of which is listed on the bottle. The unpeated single malt matured in first-fill American whiskey barrels (75%), European oak ex-wine barrels which held wines such as Ribera del Duero, syrah, and Pauillac.

Tasting Notes

"On the nose you'll find a mix of gentle vanilla, cooked apples, berry fruit, toasted malt and a touch of grass. The whisky is tangy and moderately full on the palate with more of these notes found on the taste. There's a deep barley note in the mid-palate and a peppery bite towards the end. The barrel spices are warming and not too tannic. The finish leaves you with a cooked fruit, gentle barrel spices and a light toasted nutty taste. There's just a gentle char smoke there as well. "
