Product Description:
Embrace the soul of Islay with Bruichladdich The Organic 11‑Year‑Old Single Malt, a serene yet expressive dram born of uncompromised provenance. Crafted exclusively from 100% organic Publican barley, nurtured by farmers near Inverness and matured in first-fill American bourbon casks, this is a sweet‑spiced song of terroir and craft.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A gilded symphony of crème brûlée, cantaloupe melon, and stoned fruits underlined with bright lemon zest. The sweetness morphs into toasted oak, caramel, orange blossom, honey, and malted barley sugar, elevated by floral whispers of honeysuckle, rose, and geranium, before toasted coconut and cinder toffee make a lingering encore.
Palate: Rich and silky with barley-sugar sweetness and a viscous texture that unfurls flavors of honeyed citrus, vanilla fudge, ripe pear, melon, and barley flour. A brisk sea breeze and saline minerality weave through, adding depth and coastal character.
Finish: A lingering golden syrup sweetness tempered with warm sand, nutmeg, coconut, pepper, citrus zest, and tropical mango‑pineapple‑peach echo—refined and endlessly inviting.
Every sip is a lesson in balance earthy, floral, lightly coastal, and undeniably elegant.
Serving Suggestions
- Neat: The purest expression sip slowly, let the waves of aroma and taste evolve.
- On the rocks: A single large ice cube gently tempers warmth, unlocking layers without dilution.
- Original Cocktail (Master Class Twist): The Organic Reverie 2 oz of this whisky, a teaspoon of organic heather honey syrup, a dash of saline solution (to echo the sea breeze), and a spritz of fresh lemon oil. Stir gently with a mint leaf garnish, served in a chilled coupe. It’s a nod to Islay’s windswept fields, turning every sip into meditative poetry.
Food Pairings
This organic marvel thrives when paired with:
- Smoked salmon canapés, where the whisky’s citrus and floral tones elevate brine-struck smoky richness.
- A wedge of aged Comté or Manchego, their nuttiness and savory notes enhanced by the dram’s sweet complexity.
- Tropical fruit tartlets, especially mango-lime or pineapple-coconut, echoing its finish.
