Description

Bruichladdich Distillery was founded in 1881 and is celebrated for its innovative approach to whisky production. This 11-year-old whisky, distilled in 2012, showcases Bruichladdich’s unique approach to cask maturation. It was matured in a combination of first-fill Bourbon casks and second-fill Pauillac wine barrels. The distillery has been working with the University of the Highlands and Island’s Agronomy and Agriculture Institute since 2005 to reintroduce Bere barley to the whisky industry.

About this spirit

Bruichladdich Distillery, Islay

Bruichladdich was built in 1881 by the Harvey Brothers and sits on Islay’s wild, west Atlantic coast. With a chequered past involving several corporate mergers, it was eventually closed in 1994 as it was found to be “surplus to requirements”. Resurrected in 2000 by Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin, and Jim McEwan, it was voted Distillery of the Year three times and became known for its challenging convention.
