Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 2010
Bere Barley is a six-row heritage variety with significantly lower yields than other varieties, and was long-forgotten until Bruichladdich got its mitts on it! This 2010 vintage was made using barley grown on Weyland & Watersfield, Richmond Villa, Quoyberstane and Northfield Farms, harvested in 2009. Then, the spirit was matured in American oak casks for eight years, and eventually bottled at 50% ABV.
Honeyed porridge, lemon drizzle cake and peach pastry, with tinned pear and white flowers. A touch of coconut cream and caramel.
Barley sugar and oily malt, with loads more peach, caramel chocolate and toffee apple, with a touch of vanilla oak.
Pear and apple crumble, with lingering apricot.

A compelling dram. Light but deep on the nose. Rich barley sugar and a hint of orange on the palate. A long and changing finish.
This is beautiful. Subtle, clean, but so complex and so good. Sorry not to be more descriptive, but all I can say is that this stuff puts a huge smile on my face every time I taste it. It's all about showcasing the beautiful barley.
