Mothballed by previous owners Whyte & Mackay, Bruichladdich distillery was revived in the year 2000 by independent bottler Murray McDavid. For a long time the distillery was the black sheep of Islay, on account of producing unpeated whisky in order to meet its owner’s blending requirements. Contrary to general expectations though, this also made it a hit with the locals who were presumably sick of the sight of peat.Since its resurrection - and under the guiding hand of maestro Jim McEwan - Bruichladdich hasn’t shied away from experimentation in cask management, quadruple distillation, love-it-or-hate-it presentation, and the introduction of the heavily peated Port Charlotte and (REALLY heavily peated) Octomore ranges. Oh, and they make a mean gin too.
This limited release of the Regeneration Project was created to minimise environmental impact of whilst simultaneously seeking the best possible flavours and ingredients for Bruichladdich’s spirits. Beginning as a conversation with farming partner Andrew Jones, this project supports soil health whilst also increasing the diversity of Bruichladdich’s barley programme. With this bottle containing 55% Rye and 45% Malted Barley, this approach is a first for Bruichladdich and they truly feel it is the start of something much bigger than whisky.
