Bruichladdich Islay Barley 750 ml

Bruichladdich Islay Barley is an unpeated single malt Scotch whisky made entirely from barley grown on Islay itself, a deliberate departure from the peat-smoke style most people associate with the island's whisky. Without smoke in the way, the terroir of the grain comes through more directly — think honeyed cereal, orchard fruit, and a light coastal salinity rather than campfire and iodine. Bottled at a higher-than-standard strength, it has more weight and grip than a typical entry-level single malt. A good introduction to Bruichladdich's terroir-driven philosophy, and a useful bottle for anyone who assumes all Islay whisky has to be smoky.

How to drink Bruichladdich Islay Barley

Neat, with a splash of water to open up the honeyed cereal notes, is the best way to taste what makes this unpeated Islay whisky different. It's bottled strong enough that a few drops make a real difference to how it drinks.
