Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a true celebration of the island’s unique terroir, crafted from barley grown exclusively on Islay. Distilled in 2014, this unpeated single malt represents the culmination of nearly two decades of commitment to local farming. Sourced from eight Islay farms, all within an 11-mile radius of Bruichladdich Distillery, the whisky’s provenance is fully traceable from farm to glass. Matured in a blend of first-fill bourbon casks, sherry butts, and second-fill wine casks, this expression brings the island’s essence to life in every sip.
On the nose, Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014 reveals delicate floral aromas mingled with ripe grain and sweet malt. The influence of the oak brings notes of creamy vanilla, coconut, butterscotch, brown sugar, and hints of nutmeg and hazelnut. Fruit notes of apricot, peach, honeyed melon, and pear continue to develop, creating a complex and inviting bouquet. The palate is rich and creamy, with immediate flavors of vanilla and lemon giving way to sweet malt, warm porridge, and tropical fruit. A drop of water enhances subtle marine notes, further showcasing the whisky’s deep connection to its island home.
With an alcohol strength of 50% ABV, this 8-year-old single malt boasts a full-bodied texture, balanced by the sweetness of stoned fruits and creamy vanilla custard on the finish. The lasting touch of coconut and a delicate floral note ensure a satisfying and refined drinking experience. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014 embodies the spirit of Islay, offering a genuine taste of place with every drop.
