Bruichladdich The Biodynamic Project Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 2011 Vintage

The second small-batch experiment in Bruichladdich Distillery’s exclusive Project series, The Biodynamic Project, represents an exploration of biodynamic farming principles and marks the world’s first biodynamic Scotch whisky release.

In this pioneering release, the distillery expresses its belief in the potential of biodynamic agriculture. This farming approach begins with organic principles, then goes further to restore and enrich the soil, producing exceptionally high-quality crops. By purchasing and distilling barley from the carbon-negative Yatesbury House Farm, Bruichladdich supports regenerative agricultural systems and demonstrates the profound connection between farmer and glass through a whisky that embodies sustainability and innovation.

On the nose, the whisky reveals notes of peach, vanilla custard, and candied orange, leading to a succulent mouthfeel complemented by caramel chocolate and gentle oak.

When water is added, floral tones of honeysuckle, rose, and geranium unfold on the palate, followed by a finish of citrus notes, marine air, and toffee. The experience concludes with long-lasting impressions of malt sugar and porridge.
