Bruichladdich's Islay barley series has always been a mission. For many years now theyve sought to showcase the phenomenon of terroir in single malt whisky the belief that soil, climate, micro-climate, geographic orientation, natural influences & local weather systems will influence the quality & flavour profile of the spirit, making it a unique expression of place. Bruichladdich Islay barley 2011 is distilled from barley grown on six western & central Islay farms in 2010.
