Product details
The 2007 Rockside Farm edition from Bruichladdich embodies a bold commitment to place and provenance. The grain used is grown on Rockside Farm on Islay, lending a direct connection between field and glass. After its harvest, the barley is transformed entirely on Islay and matures for six years in American oak casks — a relatively short tenure, but one that allows the youthful vigor of the barley to shine through. This release belongs to the “Islay Barley” series, which highlights the influence of local terroir. The presentation is straightforward and earnest, with no artificial coloring or chill-filtration, preserving the expressive character born of both the site and the ageing vessel.
On the nose, it opens with earthy cereal tones, butterscotch undertones, and a creamy malt presence, alongside hints of fresh sea air and saline edge. On the palate there is a supple creaminess fused with citrus zest, honeyed barley, vanilla nuances, and a whisper of warming spice — cinnamon or gentle pepper — building toward the close. The finish is modest but satisfying, lingering on sweet grain, vanilla, and a touch of woody warmth, with just enough heat to leave a soft impression.
