Bruichladdich Bere Barley Whisky 2013

This unique Islay single malt showcases one of Scotland’s oldest grains, Bere barley. This whisky honours both heritage and terroir. Grown on the Orkney Islands and distilled by Bruichladdich in 2013, this expression delivers a layered, elegant profile. Bere is a notoriously low-yielding ancient grain, prized for its depth and texture, resulting in a spirit that is creamy, characterful, and distinctively malty with fresh fruit and floral complexity.

• Bruichladdich Bere Barley Whisky 2013 opens with aromas of citrus, sweet malt flour, tropical fruit and soft fudge.
• As it develops, notes of peach skin, vanilla pod, candied orange and rose emerge.
• On the palate, malted grain is forward with popcorn, porridge, and brown sugar.
• Layers of apricot, melon and marzipan are delicately balanced by soft oak and coconut.
• Finishes with milk chocolate, creme brulee, mango and a touch of orange blossom honey.

Pair this expressive single malt with mildly spiced dishes like Moroccan tagine or roasted root vegetables to mirror the whisky’s earthy sweetness. It also complements nut-based desserts such as almond tart or white chocolate mousse, enhancing its smooth, malty character.
