Whiskey: Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2008 Islay Single Malt Scotch

A travel retail Bruichladdich single malt Scotch whisky, made with Bere barley, which has a much lower yield than other varieties. For the 2008 vintage Bere Barley Bruichladdich (a phrase which actually rolls off the tongue rather enjoyably), the barley was actually harvested on Orkney! From one island to another, all to make this light, sweet, refined expression.

Detailed Description

The 2007 crop for this, their third release of Bere Barley, was grown on Orkney and supplied by the Agronomy Institute at Orkney College UHI. Bere is an ancient barley landrace. Discoveries of similar grains, in the Neolithic village of ‘Skara Brae’ on Orkney, reach back to the dawn of Scottish agriculture and civilisation, more than 4,500 years ago. It produces desperately low yields – 50% less than a modern crop – and the small, starch-rich grains have tested the mashmen, wreaking havoc with their precious victorian machinery.

Palate: Thick and oily in texture. Honey, citrus and stone fruit-flavours: orange and apricot.
