Producent

Bruichladdich Distillery was revolutionary when it was built in 1881. It was created by the Harvey brothers - enthusiastic and entrepreneurial young members of a Glasgow whisky dynasty - with the aim of producing the purest, lightest, most floral spirit possible. With a focus on ingredients only 100% Scottish grown barley is trickle distilled through tall, elegant stills and matured for all of its life in warehouses on Islay’s Atlantic coast. Chosen by hand, eye and taste rather than a process or formula, every drop is hand crafted by our team of artisans, led by proud Ileach and Master Distiller Jim McEwan. The only major distiller to bottle spirit on the island itself, Bruichladdich never add colour or chill filter, retaining the vital natural oils which give the spirit its complex flavour profile and unctuous mouth feel. With a reputation for producing cult single malts that challenge convention, Bruichladdich produce three different brands - Bruichladdich - always unpeated.
