Product Details
Unpeated: Islay single malt scotch whisky. Adam Hannett. Head distiller. Bruichladdich: Barley Provenance series. Since day one at Bruichladdich the intergritry and provenance of our barley has been paramount. This series explores the esoteric diversity of our essential raw material. Orkney: Quoyberstane, muddisdale, weyland and watersfield on St Ola; Westermill on burray. Bere is Britain's oldest strain of cultivated cereal and would have been used by Scotland's early distillers through distant centuries. However, in the 20th century an emphasis on efficiency and commercial return encouraged the pursuit of yield over flavor-favouring varieties that would produce the easiest crop and greatest extract. Always champions of flavour. We've been working with the University of the Highlands and Islands agronomy institute since 2005 to reintroduce bere barley to the distilling of single malt whisky. bere is a hardy grain, adapted to poor soil conditions and to a short growing season. In early trails it proved resilient to milling and mashing. It took time and patience to understand how to get the best from this enigmatic barley. Sown in April. For a September harvest, the 2011 growing season was mostly warm and dry, until the crucial cutting time when there were few days free from rain. This 2012 vintage has matured over ten patient years in first. Fill ex-bourbon casks. This understated maturation delicately balances an unctuous texture and malty, sweet fruit flavour. The result is a whisky created with utmost respect, from grain to glass. Aged 10 years in oak casks. Distilled 2012. The 2011 cro pof bere. Distilled in 2012, was grown and supplied by the agronomy institute of Orkney College (UHI) in partnership with Sydney Gauld (quoyberstane). Certified B Corporation.
