Bruichladdich was built by Barnett Harvey in 1881. The distillery sits across the road from the North Atlantic Ocean, on the blustery island of Islay. Bruichladdich was given new life by Mark Reynier and Jim McEwan in 2001 and has been under the ownership of Remy Cointreau since 2012. Three different styles of whisky are created at Bruichladdich with three different names representing varying degrees of peat; Bruichladdich: Always unpeated, light, floral and fruity. Port Charlotte: Heavily Peated and elegant, retains the finesse of Bruichladdich but with a backbone of peat. Octomore: the worlds most heavily peated whisky ranging from 107ppm (phenolic parts per million) to above 300ppm. The Botanist Gin is also distilled at Bruichladdich with the 22 botanicals used in distillation foraged from the island.
Bruichladdich Scottish Barley – Classic Laddie
50% abv
This single malt Scotch whisky has been crafted by master distiller Adam Hannett from individually selected casks to showcase the classic, floral and elegant Bruichladdich house style.
Nose: barley sugar and hint of mint open before moving into freshly cut wild flowers; buttercup, daisy, meadowseet, myrtle, primrose and cherry blossom. Delicate zephyrs of sprindrift and sea pinks are a reminder that this spirit is matured exclusively beside the sea. Over time, and with the addition of a little water, caramelise fruit notes come to the fore, with hints of lemon drops, honey, tangerine and tablet.
Palate: refined and refreshing, sweet oak and barley notes come together in perfect harmony. Ripe green fruits, brown sugar and sweet malt follow, showcasing the remarkable flavours of the Scottish barley used in this single malt.
Finish: smooth and well rounded, the finish showcases the elegant balance between the sprightly, vibrant fruit and the subtle sea-spray notes.
