    Bruichladdich was brought back to life on 29th May 2001. This whisky was the very first spirit to flow from the stills: Cask 1. On that glorious spring day, the honour of filling this historic barrel was bestowed on Ruari Reynier, born the same fateful winter day, 5 months earlier, when this astonishing distillery journey began. Distilled 29th May 2001, aged 11 years.

    Bruichladdich

    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.
