Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2012

Details

Bruichladdich is an award-winning distillery employing generations of distilling knowledge and the principle of minimal intervention. Built in 1881 on the wild Scottish island of Islay, our distillery still uses the original Victorian equipment to create a range of single malt whiskies that are trickle distilled, matured and bottled solely on Islay by a skilled team of 78 men and women. Bruichladdich implements revolutionary, modern interpretations of time-honored ideas and challenges the comfortable conventions of a whisky establishment. Rejecting the onset of modern automation and homogenization, our Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, only considers production methods that place the quality of liquid above everything else. Diversity starts in the field. Provece is key. We believe the interaction of man, land, soil and climate is paramount. We value our farmer relationships, reconnecting that lost cycle between farmer and distiller — land and spirit.Accolades: Distillery of the Year 2001, 2003, 2006, 2007; Malt of the Year 2003 & 2011Distiller of the Year 2004; Innovator of the Year 2004 & 2008Queen’s Award 2005; Pioneer of the Year 2007; Environmentalist of the Year 2011
