Bruichladdich 2011 Organic

The whisky they distil from the organic barley of Mid Coul reflects the complex natural flavours of the landscape. Just as their stillmen refuse to abandon the traditional crafts of distillation in favour of automation or industrialisation, so farmer William Rose rejects the use of herbicides, pesticides and artificial fertilisers. Crop rotation is key. Their barley must take its turn in a seven year farm cycle that also produces organic cattle, sheep, oats, beans, grass, carrots, market gardening and a megawatt of green electricity. Respecting the land, the soil and the climate nourishes a genuine and thorough understanding of terroir and the results are pure Bruichladdich.

Benefitting from a slow distillation and matured only on Islay, this organic single malt has a rich and creamy, luxurious mouthfeel. Working in harmony with nature, this sustainable spirit is the future of whisky and a forthright expression from Bruichladdich's barley provenance series.
