This bottling of a Bruichladdich single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced for the Rock NDaal Festival des Feis Ile 2022 as Edition 01.1. The whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and was bottled in 2500 bottles in 2022.
Bruichladdich was built in 1881 by brothers Robert, William and John Gourlay Harvey on the edge of Loch Indaal. Some of the equipment from that time is still in use today. There was no production from 1929 to 1937, also followed by several changes of ownership. 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 and then completely renovated. Jim McEwan was recruited as master distiller. On 23 July 2012, it was announced that Remy Cointreau had bought the distillery.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
