The Bruichladdich 25th anniversary is being marked with a whisky that feels both nostalgic and bold. Bruichladdich Old Skool celebrates the distillery’s revival, its iconic Islay barley philosophy, and 25 years of pushing whisky boundaries.
Bruichladdich Distillery is one of Islay’s most compelling comeback stories. From its 1994 closure to its bold revival under Jim McEwan and Mark Reynier, Bruichladdich Distillery has redefined modern Scotch whisky through transparency, terroir-driven barley, and iconic releases like Port Charlotte, Octomore, and Black Art. Here’s why this Islay distillery still shapes the future of whisky.
The Bruichladdich 16 Year Old Organic Barley is a rich, dessert-forward dram that highlights the distillery’s commitment to organic farming and terroir. A beautifully balanced whisky full of jammy, chocolatey notes and a long, indulgent finish.
The new Octomore’s are out and I was lucky enough to give them all a try! The number of Octomore’s per release have fluctuated a bit over the years, with an occassional .4 popping up, but this year we’re back
Port Charlotte 10 is an amazing Islay Whisky from the Bruichladdich Distillery. A complex dram begging to be explored.
A visit to the Malt Vault in Utrecht proved to be a wonderful whisky journey by way of a flight!
