Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2013 Review
Unlike many other Islay releases, this single malt is unpeated and made completely from barley grown on the island. Fruity on the nose with bursts of cranberries and redcurrants, this single malt was truly showcases terroir. The quality and profile of the Islay barley shine as the nose and palate come together in perfect harmony. Single vintage, 50 percent ABV, and perfect for your favorite Scotch lover.
