Built in 1881 by the Harvey Brothers, this mothballed distillery began production again in 2001. Using equipment dating back to the Victorian ages, that is about the only old-fashioned thing about Bruichladdich (brook-lad-ee). Innovative and creative, Bruichladdich has an open minded approach to the barrels used for finishing their scotches (including first growth Bordeaux, Cognac and Amarone casks), as well as modern packaging that holds their spirits.
In 2003, Mid Coul delivered Bruichladdich’s inaugural harvest of organic barley. This forward-thinking 2,755-acre estate operates with a closed-loop fertility system, which not only generates electricity through an anaerobic digester but also recycles nearly all waste materials into fertilizer.
