Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2012 is a remarkable single malt whisky that pays homage to Scotland’s ancient grain, bere barley, which has been cultivated for over 4,500 years.

Aged in oak casks in Bruichladdich’s coastal warehouses, this whisky is non-chill filtered and free of artificial coloring, allowing the natural flavors of the barley and the cask to shine through. The result is a whisky that is pure, honest, and full of the character of Islay.

Serving suggestions: Best enjoyed neat to experience the full depth of flavor from the ancient grain and the coastal aging, or with a splash of water to unlock additional fruity and malty notes.
