Bruichladdich is an iconic distillery located on the Scottish island of Islay, renowned worldwide for its exceptional artisanal whiskies, distilled under the prestigious labels Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte, and Octomore.<\/p>
Founded in 1881 by the Harvey brothers in the westernmost region of the island, the distillery has a rich history marked by significant events: after family conflicts, William Harvey took over until a devastating fire in 1934, followed by his death in 1936. Over the decades, Bruichladdich changed owners several times before closing in 1994. In 2000, a group of investors led by Mark Reynier of Murray McDavid took over the distillery. This ambitious project included the complete dismantling and reconstruction of the facility, while preserving its unique Victorian equipment, operating by gravity without the use of computers. In 2012, the house joined the prestigious Rémy Cointreau group.<\/p>
The Octomore range is famous for its limited edition small batches, recognized as the peatiest single malts in the world. The Octomore farm, located on a peaty sloping land overlooking Port Charlotte, cultivated barley and produced whisky since the 19th century.<\/p>
The Octomore 10.2 is a remarkable 8-year-old peated whisky (96.9 PPM phenols). It aged four years in freshly selected bourbon casks before being transferred to rare and exceptionally high-quality Sauternes casks, giving it complex aromas and a unique depth.<\/strong><\/p>
