BRUICHLADDICH DISTILLERY IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWESTERN TIP OF THE REMOTE HEBRIDEAN ISLAND OF ISLAY WHERE FOUR UNIQUE SPIRITS ARE DISTILLED. HOME TO BRUICHLADDICH, PORT CHARLOTTE AND OCTOMORE SINGLE MALT WHISKIES AND THE BOTANIST ISLAY DRY GIN.
Since Bruichladdich’s resurrection in 2001, our ambitions have gone beyond the simple idea of making and selling single malt scotch whisky.
Our goal was to be an antidote to the industry norm.
We set course to be pioneers, provocateurs and change makers. Reconnecting the land and the dram, re-evaluating the prescribed ‘rules’ of the industry, questioning where flavour comes from and understanding why agricultural ecosystems are important.
This was a journey that would go on to inspire an army of distillers and drinkers across the world.
And as we continue this path, we discover that the more we learn, the more we know we need to do.
Today, our commitments to people and the planet grow stronger, ensuring we use our business as a force for good.
With our empowered team, we pursue this bigger purpose and maintain our mission to create the most thought-provoking spirits we can.
We hope our actions will stimulate other entrepreneurial start-ups to emerge on our island home and further afield, each one adding richness and diversity, paving the way for an increasingly dynamic and self-sufficient future.
Pioneering the principles of terroir in an industry that dismissed it as irrelevant, Bruichladdich set out with a vision of high provenance, flavour first, natural, Single Malt Whisky.
Twenty years on and the Bruchladdich distillery project continues; an incredible journey that has led the business to achieve B Corp accreditation in 2020, the first and currently only Scotch Distiller to be accredited as using business as a force for good.
Bruichladdich have 3 Single Malt Brands – Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore. All are 100% distilled, matured and bottled only on Islay. The ranges are complex, with a pace of innovation that is unusual and exhilarating. The packaging packs a powerful punch and is a stand out in the industry, and they are challenging themselves to go further in regards to their impact on the environment.
This is no ordinary whisky business, but certainly one you will want to be a part of…
