Founded in 1881 by the Harvey brothers, Bruichladdich was progressively resurrected in 2001 by visionary local distillers and wine merchants. Operating with original Victorian machinery, the distillery stands as a progressive pioneer of terroir-driven, unpeated Islay single malt whisky.
Bruichladdich Distillery, established on the Rhinns of Islay, is renowned for its commitment to land, barley provenance, and non-chill-filtered spirits. This 2011 vintage was crafted using Publican and Oxbridge barley varieties grown across six local Islay farms.
