Bruichladdich Bere Barley Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 2010 Vintage
In stock
Bere Barley is a six-row heritage variety that has long since been forgotten from the modern world of standardised whisky making. Its revival into present day has taken effort and resilience from an entire network of millers, growers and agronomists. This Bruichladdich Bere Barley was distilled in 2010 from a 2009 harvest on the Orkney Islands.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with coppery glints and a lush, sunlit sheen.
Nose
Dominated by cereal and malty oats, the Bere barley opens to ripe pear and peaches in syrup, with lemon meringue at the edges. A fresh linen brightness lifts the nose, while oak delivers honey, vanilla and coconut, with hints of cinder toffee and fudge. With time, peach notes broaden and envelop the bouquet.
Palate
On the palate the malted barley coats with honeyed, viscous richness. A chorus of sweet fruit and oak—peaches in syrup, honey, chocolate, cinder toffee and apricot jam—competes for balance, propelled by a luminous oak sweetness. The Bere barley delivers extraordinary intensity, the spirit drawing deep from the wood after eight years.
Finish
A gentle, graceful finish where pear and apple intertwine with peach—soft fruit lingering as oak and malt ebb slowly, leaving a contemplative, lingering impression.
