"For almost two decades, we have shown the permanence of our commitment to barley provenance. Aided by the determination and resilience of our local farming partners, Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014 is the latest vintage of the unpeated, locally grown single malt.
"Distilled using barley grown solely on Islay, the single malt truly celebrates place and provenance. The latest Islay Barley vintage is distilled from barley grown on eight local farms, all within an 11-mile radius of Bruichladdich Distillery.
"Fully traceable from farm to glass, Islay Barley 2014 has been matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks, sherry butts and second-fill wine casks, balancing the influence of the oak with the locally grown barley.
"The result is a cereal-forward single malt with notes of apricot and peach, malty digestive biscuit, and a hint of fresh grass. A subtle maritime note also lingers, nodding to the whisky’s all Islay harvest, distillation and maturation."

Caramelised sugar, roasted nuts, and dried fruits abound, enveloped in sweet campfire smoke.

The result is a multilayered and deeply satisfying dram, showcasing both elegance and robust character. This is a whisky that demands attention and rewards patience, revealing its intricacies with each sip."

"An Octomore of balance and restraint, this expression showcases the elegance and complexity possible when the spotlight shifts from cask influence to the spirit’s inherent character. It’s an Octomore for contemplation, a quiet giant that reveals its depths slowly, highlighting the interplay of homegrown barley, smoke, and the subtle floral essence of Islay."

"
The Colourful and Fruity Trendsetter
Our Pink Grapefruit is much more than just a lemonade for the summer. Even if it already looks like a mini-holiday thanks to its blaze of colour. The unique fusion of sweet and sour makes grapefruit the perfect basis for our fruity-bitter, sparkling bar lemonade. It is especially suitable as a premium mixer for innumerable tiki drinks. Of course, we have not forgotten a pinch of sea salt. Since it is what first makes the summery drink experience truly complete.
Our Pink Grapefruit seems to have been made for the popular tiki drink Pink Paloma with tequila. But it also goes wonderfully with other drinks with dark spirits like whiskey, rum, or Cachaça. Or also simply pure, on the rocks with lime, cheers!"
