Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014

Bruichladdich released this a farm-to-glass single malt crafted exclusively from Islay-grown Concerto and Propino barley varieties. This expression underwent maturation in a combination of casks, with 80% first-fill bourbon casks, 5% second-fill sherry butts, and 15% second-fill wine casks. Striking a balance between its unpeated spirit and juicy fruit notes, the palate unfolds with hints of peach, popcorn, and porridge. The signature Bruichladdich elements of yellow fruits and honey are complemented by subtle citrus and coastal minerality on the finish.
