Bruichladdich 8 Year Old 2010 Bere Barley
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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Honeyed porridge, lemon drizzle cake and peach pastry, with tinned pear and white flowers. A touch of coconut cream and caramel.
Palate
Barley sugar and oily malt, with loads more peach, caramel chocolate and toffee apple, with a touch of vanilla oak.
Finish
Pear and apple crumble, with lingering apricot.
