Bruichladdich Micro Provenance 9 Year Old 2010 Ribera Del Duero - 63.5% 70cl

The Micro Provenance series from Bruichladdich distillery is an exploration into cask evolution, each individually picked by head distiller Adam Hannett to explore the nuances of warehouse location, different oak, cask and micro-climate on the maturing spirit.

This particular edition is aged solely in red wine casks from the Ribero Del Duero - which is a wine region north of Madrid in Spain, usually Tempranillo in variety.

Made from Publican barley, aged for 9 years since 2010 and bottled at a mighty 63.5% ABV, this is sure to be a treat for the senses.

It is distilled from Publican barley, only a limited amount of 282 bottles were produced.

Nose: The bouquet speaks of most succulent fruits you can imagine; cantaloupe melon, peach, apricot, plump ripe red grapes with a hint of dark plums surrounded by freshly picked mint, primrose, orange and lemon peel in the warmth of a midsummers day.

Palate: The malty, oak flavours give a biscuit creamy citrus buttery flavour to the spirit with tastes of honey and toffee. They provide the traditional flavours of Bruichladdich. 

Finish: There is strength and finesse, elegant and full of latent power, oodles of succulent fruit and mellow tannins that hold the structure beautifully in harmony.
