About BruichladdichScotland
Bruichladdich is on the southwestern tip of the island of Islay in the Scottish Hebrides, on the banks of Loch Indaal. It was first established in 1881 by the Harvey brothers, survived several periods of closure, and closed again in 1994. It was brought back in 2001 by Mark Reynier and Simon Coughlin with Jim McEwan as Master Distiller, and Remy Cointreau bought it in 2012. It makes three single malts: unpeated Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte peated to 40PPM, and the super heavily peated Octomore. It says terroir matters, and its Barley Exploration series, including Islay Barley, Bere Barley and Organic Barley, centres on where the barley was grown, with 52% of annual production now using Islay barley.
