Bruichladdich Scottish Barley 13 - $14
In Victorian times, when Bruichladdich Distillery was built, all Scottish barley was organically grown. The relationship between distiller, farmer and soil was intimate and enduring. These ties were lost as industrialised farming cut through ancient synergies and an age of super efficient blandness was born.
In partnership with their organic farmers – Sir William Roberts of Mains of Tullibardine, William Rose at Mid Coull and Neil Scobie at Coulmore – Bruichladdich Distillery is rediscovering these synergies. Like the Blooming Grove Inn, Bruichladdich believes relationships matter. Once again, land and dram united.

Tasting Notes
| Proof | Color | Nose | Taste | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | Late Summer barley | Opens on a light almond note with a twist of candied lemon, followed by the magic of toasted barley. Floral and fruit aromas intermingle beautifully with the toffee sweetness that comes from American Oak casks before the spirit opens once again with drifts of succulent papaya and kiwi. | The texture is sensational, the spirit gliding over the palate like warm syrup. There is a real sweetness on the front of the palate with barley sugars, honey, almonds, green jelly beans, and pear drops all splashed with a squeeze of fresh lemon and balanced by the crispness of malted barley. | An intensity and definition of flavour that is unparalleled. Incredibly fresh, giving an unforgettable palate experience that leaves the tastebuds tingling. |
