Buy rare and selected Bruichladdich Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bruichladdich was built in 1881 by brothers Robert, William and John Gourlay Harvey in a perfect location on the edge of Loch Indaal, on the eastern shore of the Rhinns, the westernmost tip of the island of Islay.
At that time, the distillery was one of the most modern distilleries and much of the equipment used at the time is still in use today. Unlike most other distilleries, which were converted farmhouses, Bruichladdich was designed and built as a distillery. The buildings were laid out around a central courtyard which contained the kilns and a steam engine to generate electricity. There was no production from 1929 to 1937, after which there were several changes of ownership. Invergordon installed another pair of stills in 1974. In 1994, the distillery was shut down again until it was bought by Mark Reynier and his two Murray McDavid colleagues Simon Coughlin and Gordon Wright on 19 December 2000 for £7,500,000 and then completely renovated. Jim McEwan (previously with Bowmore) was recruited as master distiller. Most of the old Victorian equipment was retained. The equipment, kilns and pipework were dismantled into their individual parts and overhauled and reassembled by a team of engineers.
The distillery Bruichladdich has a mash tun (6.2 t) and six fermentation tanks (together 210,000 l). is distilled in two Rohbrandblasen (together 23,000 l) and two fine blisters (together 21,000 l), which are heated by steam. 2010 came a Lomond Still added from the disused distillery Inverleven. Since 25 May 2003, the bottling plant in operation, making it the distillery the only on Islay, which fills the spot. In May 2004 his own cooperage was opened, and since December 2004, the malt from organic barley of Islay is made. From the distillery there are a variety of bottlings. Until the last closing in 1994 was used exclusively ungetorftes malt, thereby Bruichladdich different from the other Islay distilleries.
A special distillate of Bruichladdich, the most peated whisky in the world, is named after an old distillery (1816-1852) called Octomore in Port Charlotte, which, founded in 1816 by George Montgomery, she ran until 1840, today in the yard of James Brown lies. The Octomore II is fired at Bruichladdich since of 2002. The first Octomore vintage was brought in late 2008 in the trade, its phenol content was 131 ppm. He rose at Octomore 2 to 140 ppm, while Octomore 3 to 152 ppm, while Octomore 4.1 to 167 ppm and 2012 at 5.1 Octomore even unique 169 ppm (Laphroaig contains about 35 ppm, Ardbeg about 40 ppm). Today Bruichladdich produces a wide range of no peated up to peated single malts of outstanding quality and stands for authentic, perfectly crafted products produced with an intense aroma, a unique taste and the maritime character of the Atlantic - all Bruichladdich single malt Scotch whiskies are distilled, matured and bottled on the Islay.
