Bruichladdich
Bruichladdich Islay Barley ‘Rockside Farm’ 2007 (6 year old) 50%
Optic Barley
Bourbon
Tasted: Sept 2013
Youthful and gristy on the nose with a distinct earthy, herbal, bog myrtle note along with some sweet honey coated barley. Dense but edgy, although not too edgy with hints of manure and loamy peat. It has a lovely, sort of old skool Caol Ila freshness.
Crisp and clean on the palate with green apple, barley and honeysuckle. Fresh and briny with a light oiliness and a lovely depth of slightly earthy barley and loamy peat. Very coastal on the middle with the barley becoming pleasantly sweet. Lovely texture and length with the finish slightly masked by the alcohol.
Diluted the nose become quite citric with a light sherberty note and some crunchy honeycomb emerging. Very beguiling and lightly coastal. The palate opens a little watery but it’s still quite elegant wit hints of sweet barley. Very gentle and coastal with a rock pool vegetation like finish. Very enjoyable.
