Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2012 is a single malt made from Bere barley, regarded as Britain's oldest cultivated cereal strain. The distillery has worked with the University of the Highlands and Islands' Agronomy Institute since 2005 to bring the grain back into whisky production.
The barley was grown in the 2011 season, sown in April and harvested in September. The 2012 vintage then matured for over a decade in first-fill ex-bourbon casks.
The nose is fruity and floral, with lime, green apple, honeysuckle, vanilla, hay and barley sugar, and a peach note that grows. The palate is firm, with apricot, ripe peach, stewed apple, warm scones and marzipan. The finish is long, with gingerbread, milk chocolate and apricot jam.
