The name Bruichladdich comes from the Gaelic for 'Brae of the Shore' - Bruthach a' Chladaich. The distillery closed many times throughout its history and was re-opened in its current form in 2001.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince Bruichladdich’s resurrection in 2001, the distillery team have aimed to be an antidote to the industry norm. As 'Progressive Hebridean Distillers', they want to reconnect whisky with the land, re-evaluate where flavour comes from and use the business as a force for good for the community, local agriculture and the planet; ensuring that Islay and its people are at the heart of every decision the distillery make. Bruichladdich's commitment to local growers for over two decades has not only created incredible flavour but has supported the local farming community and created provenance and traceability which has added value well beyond the distillery gates: from one farmer in 2004, Bruichladdich now works with 19 local farming partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePort Charlotte 10 year old is conceived, distilled matured and bottled only on Islay. Made from 100% Scottish barley, it is trickle distilled through tall, narrow:necked stills for a balanced, heathery style of barbeque smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose: The smoke is calmed by the marine, ozone character. While the smoke is always discernible on the nose it is dry and earthy in its style, allowing the oak to come forward with waves of golden caramel, fudge, vanilla custard, hints of ginger, nutmeg and clove. There is citrus fruit, coaxed from the glass with a drop of water, gentle lemon meringue and clementine. Breathe deeply and the floral aromas of wild thyme, heather and sea pink transport you to the Atlantic coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: On the palate there is a noticeable delicacy and softness in texture and style. Again, the balance of flavour is superb as the smoke wraps loosely around the sweetness drawn from deep within the oak. Coconut, vanilla custard and lemon honey combines with smoked oysters and sun baked salty sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: The finish is sublime. Smoky, sure, but with the soft sweetness of fudge and malted barley. Orange, mango and banoffee pie signal the depth and quality of the oak. The many layers interchange on each sip. As the smoke comes and goes so too do the notes of ripe apple and apricot, beautifully intertwined with malt and oak sweetness and that typical Port Charlotte style dry smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour: Primrose to Citrine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruichladdich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40266324082732,"sku":"W-BRU-12","price":62.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/6249\/9116\/files\/Bruichladdich-Port-Charlotte-10-Single-Malt-Whisky-70cl.webp?v=1780070174"},{"product_id":"big-peat-70cl-blended-malt-whisky","title":"Big Peat, 70cl, Blended Malt Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003eDistillery\/Brand: Big Peat\u003cbr\u003eBottler: Douglas Laing\u003cbr\u003eExpression: Big Peat\u003cbr\u003eSpirit: Blended Malt Whisky\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Islay, Scotland\u003cbr\u003eVolume: 70cl \u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 46% ABV\u003cbr\u003eSmall Batch\u003cbr\u003ePeated: 40ppm\u003cbr\u003eNon-Chill Filtered\u003cbr\u003eNatural Colour\u003cbr\u003eMulti award winning, including: Great Taste 2021; San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Gold 2021; Nordic Spirits Award, gold 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig Peat is seriously committed to smoke… He's a feisty character with a hint of sweetness: a blend of Single Cask Single Malts exclusively from Islay including, Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore and the elusive Port Ellen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose: fresh, briny and clean, followed by sweet peaty malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: ashes, sweet tar, beaches and smoking chimneys with a lingering finish of sea salt, smoke, bonfire ashes and a phenolic quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Douglas Laing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40266446209068,"sku":"W-DL-BP-1","price":40.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/6249\/9116\/files\/Big-Peat-70cl-Blended-Malt-Whisky.webp?v=1777823793"},{"product_id":"kilchoman-sanaig-single-malt-whisky","title":"Kilchoman, Sanaig - Single Malt Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003eDistillery\/Brand: \u003cspan id=\"isPasted\"\u003eKilchoman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpression: \u003cspan id=\"isPasted\"\u003eSanaig\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpirit: Single Malt Whisky\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Islay, Scotland\u003cbr\u003eVolume: 70cl \u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 46% ABV\u003cbr\u003eCask: Oloroso, bourbon\u003cbr\u003eHeavily Peated: 50PPM\u003cbr\u003eNon-Chill Filtered\u003cbr\u003eNatural Colour\u003cbr\u003eLimited Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKilchoman is a family run Islay business established in 2005 which farms 2,300 acres including craggy hillground grazed by their blackface sheep and fields where their Aberdeen Angus cattle feed on machair grasses and draff (barley husks discarded during the whisky-making process).

The fertile ground surrounding the distillery is reserved for Kilchoman's annual barley crop. Sown each spring, once Islay’s 50,000 migratory geese have departed, the barley is harvested in early autumn when whisky-making commences: barley malting, distillation, maturation and bottling, all done at the distillery - Islay’s only Single Farm Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Kilchoman's 100% Islay philosophy means that the responsibility for the quality and consistency is not outsourced but completed on site with skill, care and attention to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the peating process, the barley absorbs the distinct character of Islay’s many ocean-soaked peat bogs which adds waves of rich, maritime smoke.

As 'Progressive Hebridean Distillers', they want to reconnect whisky with the land, re-evaluate where flavour comes from and use the business as a force for good for the community, local agriculture and the planet; ensuring that Islay and its people are at the heart of every decision the distillery make. Bruichladdich's commitment to local growers for over two decades has not only created incredible flavour but has supported the local farming community and created provenance and traceability which has added value well beyond the distillery gates: from one farmer in 2004, Bruichladdich now works with 19 local farming partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBruichladdich Old Skool is a commemorative limited release celebrating 25 years of Islay-centric whisky making.
