Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2012 is truly a 100% Islay Single Malt Whisky. For many years, Bruichladdich has been trying to raise awareness of the phenomenon of "terroir" in single malt whisky. The belief that soil, climate, microclimate, geographical orientation, natural influences and local weather systems influence the quality and flavour profile of the spirit has long been accepted. Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2012 was distilled from barley grown on six western and central Islay farms in 2010. The result is an intense and unique whisky that perfectly represents the purity of Islay. Bottled at 50% ABV, this is a unique taste experience of stature.
