Nice one John, I love these head to head videos. I have not tried either of these but they are on my list. Cheers!

I bought a 2010 Bere Barley when it came out. I liked it so much I Went back to the store next day and bought 5 more lol. Gave 2 to each of my boys. I’m now on the last dregs. Haven’t seen the 2012 on the shelves.

The real deal for sure. Cheers 🥃

I had an issue with a super loose cork in an Octomore I bought. They sent me a bag full of corks and also 100ml of the Octomore 9.3 (I had bought the 9.1). Amazing customer service.

[@justwhisky]

Wow that’s great! Agree great customer service. Cheers 🥃

Really cool comparison between these two. I need to open my Bere Barley 2010 soon. Can't help but be a big fan of Bruichladdich. Cool shirt too! Cheers 🥃

Nice comparison video. I have 2012 Bere Barley now I want to try some of the 2010. Cheers!

Same church…different pew. Cheers 🥃

Great comparison John! I really like the 2010. It smells and tastes like a hay bale to me and I totally agree with the Kilkerran comparison. They both have that grassy character. Now I will have to track down a 2012 Bere Barley.

[@justwhisky]

Thanks Kevin! Cool that you can relate! Cheers 🥃

You had me going there for a while with reviewing the older release. I'm sure i saw the 2012 video and a comparison is really valuable. I was tempted by a 2011 Islay barely that was available for a while and only$69. The new one is $99 and the Organic 2011 is down to $99. Haven't seen a Bere for a while. I'm still working on a 2007 Islay barley. I find these unpeated offerings to be the only whisky to really showcase the malt. You have to pay a little bit for the experience but I can't think of any other option that is giving us this raw spirit to explore. A little more age would be nice but that would cost even more. I've curtailed the collecting lately and I am with you on the search for distillery character instead of wine cask flavors, I just can't control the urge to pour peat or sherried or sherried peat drams.

[@justwhisky]

We’re on the same page Jack. Agree Bruichladdich is an experience in what malted barley is and can be. Islay Barley are a great example. Just picked up the new Laphroaig Cairdeas and will be revisiting soon. Cheers 🥃

[@jackthepickledhound]

@@justwhisky the next new????newer than warehouse 1? I am so ready for that. I have thus far passed on Batch 15 @$99 but I expect this Cairdeas to be north of $110.

[@justwhisky]

@@jackthepickledhound stay tuned bro! $99

If I were you, I would complain about the T-shirt. Maybe they will send you new corks… Like the Bruichlladdich series a lot. I hope someday you are able to try the older 10y laddie, a must try. (the 46% version, not the 50%)

[@justwhisky]

I have tried the 10 at a sampler event last year. I will be reviewing the Classic 8 in the future. Cheers 🥃 Funny about tshirt vs corks…
