Bruichladdich The Organic 2011 vintage Islay single malt Scotch whisky. Made with 100% Organic Publican barley grown on Mid Coul Farms in Inverness. Matured in first fill-bourbon barrels.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Notes of Crème brulee, cataloupe melon, stoned fruit and lemon zest open on the nose. Oak and sweet fruit follow, expanding into mellow toasted oak, caramel, orange blossom, honey and malted barley sugars. Delicate floral notes of honeysuckle, rose and geranium comes through, paired with cinder toffee and coconut dipped in chocolate.
PALATE: Barley sugar sweetness is carried by a viscous texture that opens up a honeyed citrus tang. A medley of toasted oak, barley flour, vanilla fudge, ripe pear and melon come in waves - showcasing the complexity and balance of this expression. A fresh ocean breeze and the salty tang of marine air combines with vanilla, toffee and the ceder notes of the oak, all wrapped in the soft fruits of distillation.
FINISH: Golden syrup sweetness is balanced with hints of wood spices and warm sand, providing a smooth yet complex finish. Subtle notes of nutmeg, coconut, pepper and citrus zest follow, gently settling into tropical fruit flavours of mango, pineapple and peach.
