Bruichladdich 10 Years Old
This spirit, malted from only Scottish Barley for Authenticity, slow-fermented for Purity, Trickle-Distilled for Creamy texture and cask filled at 70% for extra flavour, has been quietly slumbering in their Loch side warehouses for the last 10 years and they are immensely proud to offer this dram to you now.
'The first 10 years are the toughest'
Since Murray McDavid saved the distillery in 2000, with an asking price of £6.5 million. Bruichladdich has gone from strength to strength after a difficult initial period. Now under the ownership of Remy Cointreau, it is one of Islay’s most recognisable whiskies and brands. Remy brought much-needed financial clout that has allowed Bruichladdich to expand into new markets, build warehousing and pursue its brand of terroir. Today, it offers 3 distinctly different distillates, with the Bruichladdich being unpeated, a historical homage to a lost distillery (Port Charlotte) is heavily peated and well regarded. Then at the top of the peat ranking charts is Octomore, which pushes peat in new directions to an eager audience. Expect production details, various casks and eye-catching branding with each and every release from the distillery.
