About this bottle
Found, one submarine, wallowing aimlessly in North Atlantic near Islay
Colour: Bright yellow
Distinctive markings: Ministry of Defence
Contact: Fisherman Baker on Islay 917850
The Coastguard knew nothing about the bright yellow mini submarine, marked "MOD", bristling with hi-tech surveillance equipment found by an Islay fisherman floating dangerously under the surface of the Atlantic. It was towed to port, hoisted ashore, and kept securely awaiting collection. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) "Defending the United Kingdom and its Interests" at first denied it was missing, then that it was not theirs, and finally that it must have been stolen; but the Coastguard were still looking for it.... First spied on by the US, now the brits,.. Whoever next?
Distilled 1991 then bottled after 14 years of maturation in Oak Casks.

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.
