Bruichladdich The Organic 2011 is a celebration of Islay's terroir, crafted with organic barley sourced exclusively from Mid Coul Farm in Scotland. Distilled in 2011, this single malt Scotch whisky is unpeated, allowing the purity of the barley and the landscape to shine through. Aged for eleven years in first-fill bourbon barrels, the whisky carries the essence of the land, enriched by sustainable farming practices that respect the environment and nurture its delicate balance. At 50% ABV, it embodies the bold character of Islay while remaining smooth and approachable.
The light amber hue introduces an aromatic journey, beginning with notes of crème brûlée, stone fruit, melon, and a hint of lemon zest. Subtle layers of toasted oak, caramel, orange blossom, and malted barley sugars unfold, complemented by floral hints of honeysuckle and rose. On the palate, the whisky reveals a velvety texture with barley sugar sweetness, honeyed citrus, and vibrant flavors of ripe pear, melon, and vanilla fondant. A refreshing sea breeze intertwines with cedar and caramel, balancing sweetness with Islay’s coastal essence.
Best savored neat or with a splash of water, this expression delivers a long, smooth finish with wood spice, nutmeg, and tropical fruit notes like mango and pineapple. Bruichladdich The Organic 2011 is an ode to organic farming, meticulous craftsmanship, and the natural beauty of Islay, offering a whisky experience that is as pure as its origins.
