Bruichladdich Distillery was built by the Harvey brothers in 1881 on the Rinns of Islay, the western peninsula of the island of Islay. 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.
Since 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.
Located within 15 miles of the distillery, each of the eight local farming partners undertook the risk of growing in challenging conditions to deliver the barley used for this 2014 vintage.
Being located on Scotland’s rugged west coast, unpredictable weather, and grazing wild geese and deer means a successful harvest on Islay is never a given but it’s a risk worth taking, resulting in a single malt with total traceability and unparalleled provenance.
Bottled at 50% ABV and peated to 40 PPM, the maturation profile consists of 84% in first fill bourbon casks, 8% in second fill Virgin oak and 8% in second fill Bordeaux wine casks. With notes of malty digestive biscuits and peat paving the way for a sweet medley of apricot, peach and ripe melon, this 2014 release holds fruit and smoke in perfect balance.
