Classic Bruichladdich Single Malt made with certified organic grains and processes and yielding a powerful statement in Spirit sustainability.

The Bruichladdich Distillery is very impressive. In 1881 the Harvey brothers — who came from a Whisky family dynasty — built a cathedral-like, state-of-the-art Victorian still house with unheard-of six-meter tall stills. After being closed for a short period between 1994-2001, the distillery was brought back to life using pretty much the same 100 year old equipment by two London Wine merchants, who believed that terroir matters. They proudly practice slow fermentation and slow distillation using traditional wooden vats and huge washes made from towering Douglas Fir. The distillery produces non-peated Bruichladdich Single Malt, Port Charlotte which is peated in the classic Islay style, the heavily peated Octomore, and The Botanist Islay Dry Gin.

Bruichladdich The Organic 2010 is the most recent vintage of one of the few certified organic Single Malts. And since this thing had to pass muster for certification, we know a heck of a lot about it. For example, all the grain in this dram was grown on a single farm that is also certified organic — Mid Coul Farm near Inverness — that rotates field use in a seven-year rotation of crops and cattle pasture. The barley was harvested in 2009 and the Spirit was distilled in 2010. It aged a minimum of eight years in ex-Bourbon casks and was bottled at 50% ABV.

Smartass Corner: 
The word "Bruichladdich" is darned hard to say correctly. The trouble is that the "-ich" in Scot’s Gaelic is sometimes pronounced as a hard "k" and sometimes it’s silent. And in "Bruichladdich" there’s one of each. Say it this way: "brook - laddie" and you’ll be close.

Appearance / Color
Harvest Gold

Nose / Aroma / Smell
The aroma is intense, but left to breathe for a minute or two it reveals apple and pear notes over peach cobbler and baking spices.

Flavor / Taste / Palate
Taken neat the Spirit is bold and bracing with granola clusters, charred wood, stewed autumn fruits, sweet malt, milk chocolate, and warm bread.

Finish
The finish is long with plenty of charred oak trailing off over complex fruits.

Character Dogson
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
Bruichladdich is the largest single employer on the island with 60 full-time staff, and various temp and contract personnel.
Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
Bruichladdich is one of the few distilleries that dedicates 100% of production to their broad range of single malt Whisky.
Everything is done on-site -- including bottling (which is rare).
