Distillery : Bruichladdich / Country : Scotland / Reference: : 24723

Bere barley is a heirloom barley variety that has never reached its peak of popularity with farmers or distillers due to its low yield. It was never on the "recommended crop list" for farmers. The ancient local race would have been almost lost if it had not been for the resurrection mission forged by Barony Mill with the help of Orkney College (UHI Agronomy Institute).

This 2011 whiskey vintage, distilled from six-row grain cultivated in Orkney in the summer of 2010, shows the longevity of the Bere partnership which began in 2005.

It is a Single Malt with a unique character.

Bottled at the distillery with Islay spring water, unfiltered and dye-free.

Established in 1881, this Islay distillery faces Bowmore on the other side of the Loch Indaal.


In the past, it produced the less peated and lightest malts of the island, due to its four long-necked stills. As it almost disappeared in 1995, it was purchased by a group of investors who trusted Jim McEwan (former Bowmore employee) with the responsibility over distillation and blending. Since then, it has been a feast of fascinating novelties and releases…


A rare fact in Scotland, the Bruichladdich distillery (“Bruk-ladie”) uses a brewing vat in open air. Its onion-shaped stills have a very flat bottom and a long neck. The very light peated Bruichladdich Single Malt is unfairly underestimated. It reveals indeed a maritime origin with an iodized nose and a salty mouth flavour. Longer maturation imparts a full body to the whisky and makes it a gourmet, elegant malt. Bruichladdich is also perfect when aged in sherry casks.


The distillery produces also two heavily peated whiskies: Port Charlotte and Octomore.
