Bruichladdich 10y/o 2012 Jurancon Cask#2195 63.6%ABV 30ml

Barrel and Batch's second release of a Micro Provenance Cask from the esteemed Bruichladdich Distillery.

"This particular single cask underwent a delightful aging process in a Jurancon 2nd fill cask, originating from the renowned wine-producing region situated in the southwest of France. Recognised for its production of delectable sweet white wines, the Jurançon wine region boasts a remarkable blend of Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng grape varieties. These wines are celebrated for their rich complexity, often revealing hints of honey, apricot, citrus, and tropical fruits. The unique microclimate, characterised by warm, sunny days and cool nights, contributes to the distinctive flavours and the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity found in Jurançon wines.

True to its reputation, this second fill cask beautifully infused its distinct flavours into the robust, delectable new make of Bruichladdich. Resting peacefully for 10 years since its distilling date of 27.06.2012, our whisky was eventually bottled on 11.01.2023 at a satisfying 63.6%. Limited to just 270 bottles, this divine elixir captivated the senses with its Crimson Sunset hue, welcoming an earthy note from the dunnage storage, swiftly followed by the embrace of dark honey-glazed fruits and an irresistible burst of sweetness akin to the sensation of indulging in a starburst candy.

The sweetness, reminiscent of a fortified wine, was delicately derived from the late harvest of the grapes, offering a delightful interplay of orchard fruits and a hint of sweet creaming soda, culminating in the softest whisper of vanilla pods."
