Scotch It! You scotch gods.
I love this expression. I love Bruichladdich. My favourite distillery in the scheme of things. WT
That cork scene was the best!! 😂 Keep up the great videos!
The 2013 is so good I ordered 5 bottles before I finished my first bottle!
wow, commitment!
It has been awhile fellas. I'm glad to see that you're still kickin out great content. Thanks
thanks SDD! we know you're here in spirit!
Cheers dummies. Really enjoyed this episode. I think I tried the 2012 and it was amazing.
Thank you Preston.
Nothing better than a classic Scott-Bart 2-point spread. 👏👏👏 FWIW, I've got my second bottle of the 2011 Islay Barley on the shelf right now and love it. Bruichladdich is the master of making young malt taste good. Cheers!
Thank you Robert.
Now I’m happy I got this for $63 USD vs the original price of $86 USD. I hope to get the same enjoyment and tasting notes.
Great buy
The 2011 was my favorite and made me fall in love with this distillary. I wonder how close the flavors are from batch to batch.
You were in great shape here! 🙂
And you made me curious with these Bruichladdichs...
👍
I bought this one today (again after more than a year) and I have to say it's still one off my favourites price/quality wise. (€84) and I bought some Ardbeg Uihedahl too with it because it's a good Scotch to drink in this winter period (€86). How're the prices with you guys,? Here some stay very stable, but like Ardbeg Corryvreckan went from €88 to €115.
The core range stays pretty stable. I haven’t had to replace any recently however.
I had the 2010 and 2011, both great. If I see this, I'll definitely buy it...good video!
Thanks Brian
How does it compare to the Classic Laddie?
Oh boy, I haven’t had the light blue bottle in a couple years. All Bart can say is they put out quality consistently.
Great video guys!
Great review. I’ve had the 2011, really good.
Would recommend the Bere Barley - seriously chewy whisky and really shows off the impact of using a different, lower yield barley.
I’m struggling with my latest purchase of the Classic Laddie which is very wine driven compared with the previous bottle from a few years ago. Left it awhile and will be coming back to it this weekend to see if I think differently about it.
love the Bere Barleys!
Great distillery. Fun show.
Boom
Good stuff boys.
The 2011 has French sweet wine casks used in it's blend. It bugs me a bit that the releases aren't like for like in maturation time and cask types, that way we would see more of the influence of that years barley harvest. Or would we notice any differences at all?? Hmmm.
Poured some Makers before watching this and it's all along the shelf behind Scott. Must of have a premonition lol. On a past Islay Barley I had a super strong Bleu cheese note and not in a bad way. Good stuff as always from Bruichladdich
Thank you Marc.
So Dummies, just wondering about this one, is it Bottled at 100prf. like my fav. Classic Laddie? 🤔😋
Yes
I wonder how the Springbank Local Barley compares to Bruichladdich lslay Barley? Other than the price and availability 😉
SB Local Barley are cask strength and often over 10 years
@@justwhisky Thanks, I'm just wondering how they compare in the glass.
@@MrChristopherMolloy the cask strength and age intensifies the experience…plus the SB mystery funk and the like.
But like most others … seems Bruichladdich Bere barley is the way to go.
The 2010 Islay Barley is still, to this day, my favorite from Bruichladdich. I was mildly let down by this 2013. It felt like all of the notes that made me fall in love before were toned down and the palate was far less viscous. Likely my expectations were too high and hoping some time will allow it to show more. Anyhow, good time as always, boys. Slainte.
thanks Franco!
Great review gentlemen. I recently had a sample of this 2013 and thought it was the best of the most recent releases(Black Art 10.1 is great too!). Keep up the fine work whether 🥃 or 🚔👮♂️ Cheers 🥃
Thank you
This and the bere barley are easy pickups for me. Always consistent, always great. Bruichladdich still being highly underrated havent had a bad pour from them yet.
They put out great stuff
Yeah, the Bere Barley is a little better even. Great drams both.
@@utoobia Agree on the BB. Really a hidden gem for the price.
Scott, what risers are you using on your shelves? I’m looking for some to get my bottles on shelves finally.
2x4's
@@ScotchTestDummies Doh... of course. Thanks.
I often think there is a tiny bit of peat on Isaly Barley.
That’s always Barts wish
I'm still not on board with the wine-doped recent batches. Tried the 2011 with high hopes and was severely disappointed. I wish they still made it like the older ones in the yellow tins.
Found this for 40 bucks in cape cod
Where?
Great find!
Nice
Looks tasty good video
Thank you
So I should grab it from Costco for 60!
You bet
Bruichladdich islay barley 2014 review
Boys… holy smokes. I saw a bottle and about pooped. After I took it home and tasted it, I did poop. It was like compass box orchard house and balvenie french oak 16ye met and had a baby
Lol. It’s so good you shat yourself.
bart thinking about waxing his dolphin.
Lol, only on good days.
Furniture polish. 50% abv. How about you add some wd-40 and Shout and make it a Molotov Cocktail.
