Learn more about Bruichladdich Distillery, Islay
Producing different peating levels, a commitment to 100% Scottish barley, and an innovative cask-management programme, this whisky is always non-chill filtered, colouring-free, and bottled on Islay using Islay spring water. Bruichladdich produces three styles – unpeated Bruichladdich, heavily peated Port Charlotte and super heavily peated Octomore – all using the original 1881 Victorian equipment.
It was purchased in August 2012 by the Rémy Cointreau group and continues to push the boundaries of innovation. In 2010, Bruichladdich launched The Botanist Gin. Created by Master Distiller Jim McEwan, using 22 hand-picked Islay Botanicals and distilled in one of the last remaining Lomond Stills, it has experienced huge success. In 2023, Bruichladdich launched its first rye whisky. Reflecting the increasing popularity of rye, not just in the US but worldwide, this rye whisky (The Regeneration Project) also has the benefit of creating crop rotation on nearby farms, helping to regenerate the soil.
