Bruichladdich – Bere Barley 2010 8 Year Old (2019) (70cl, 50%)

Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2010 is an 8 year old Islay single malt, bottled in 2019 at 50% in a 70cl bottle. It is made from Bere barley, one of the oldest grains in the world, which gives a flavour profile quite different from modern barley varieties. The whisky was matured in American oak casks. It is typically described as creamy and honeyed, with spicy barley and white pepper, soft vanilla from the oak, and a fresh, citrusy finish with a clean mineral edge.
