Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Scottish Barley Single Malt Whisky 0,7L 50%

Bruichladdich The Organic Scottish Barley Malt Whisky 1.0 L, 50% In the 19th century, it was common to convert old farmhouses or similar buildings into whisky distilleries. This had the advantage that the costly construction of foundation walls was not necessary and, in the case of a farm, harvest residues could often be processed directly on site. But of course there were also disadvantages. Since these buildings were not built to house a distillery, there were frequent space problems and compromises had to be made regarding the planning and design of the facilities. Furthermore, the pure spring water that is so important for production often had to be brought in over long distances. The three brothers Robert, William and John Gourlay Harvey also saw these grievances when they planned their Bruichladdich distillery (pronounced "bruchladdie"). They therefore decided to build the Bruichladdich Distillery from scratch and invest in the latest and most modern facilities. They chose the western shore of Loch Indaal on the island of Islay as their location, as it is very close to a spring with very high water quality. To this day, Bruichladdich, which is located directly opposite the famous Bowmore Distillery, is considered the westernmost whisky distillery in Scotland. When the Harvey brothers opened the distillery in 1881, they probably would not have imagined that some of the equipment they purchased back then would still be in operation today. Bruichladdich is therefore a kind of living museum and is extremely popular with whisky lovers all over the world, and not just because of its very traditional working methods. The Bruichladdich Organic Scottish Barley When the Bruichladdich Distillery was built, only organically grown barley was used. This changed with the industrialization of agriculture. Bruichladdich now wants to revive this old raw material quality with the Bruichladdich Organic Scottish Barley and relies entirely on 100% organically grown barley. After the slow distillation, the new make matures in American oak barrels, which give it the final touch. The Organic Scottish Barley is an extremely creamy whisky, with aromas of lemon, malt, pear, honey and almond. The Organic Scottish Barley is a fairly mild and completely convincing single malt whisky with a medium-long aftertaste.

Bruichladdich Malt Whisky Scottish Barley The Classic Laddie , 0.7 L, 50% Bruichladdich - A very traditional distillery The Bruichladdich distillery, which is pronounced "bruchladdie", is the westernmost distillery in Scotland. It is located on the island of Islay on the western shore of Loch Indaal, directly opposite the famous Bowmore Distillery. Bruichladdich was founded by the three brothers Robert, William and John Gourlay Harvey, who built the distillery in 1881. Unlike many other new distilleries at the time, the Harvey brothers did not convert an existing old building into a distillery, but built one from scratch. They also invested a lot of money in the most modern equipment of the time. This foresight paid off, as some of the equipment from the 19th century can still be used in daily operations today. After Bruichladdich had to close between 1929 and 1937, it was closed again in 1994 after various changes of ownership. At the time, things looked bleak, but in 2000, three brave investors and partners of Murray McDavid decided to buy the distillery and breathe new life into it. Since May 29, 2001, Bruichladdich has been producing new single malt whisky again, which has delighted whisky lovers all over the world! Even though the distillery is located on the island of Islay, which is known for its smoky whiskies, not all of the distillery's whisky is made from malt dried over peat. The distillery's classic bottlings are unpeated and perhaps for this very reason, and not just among the residents of Islay, they are very popular. The Bruichladdich Scottish Barley "The Classic Laddie" The Bruichladdich Scottish Barley "The Classic Laddie" is made from 100% Scottish barley and is a tribute to the beauty and untouched nature of this breathtaking country! Like the old Bruichladdich bottlings, the Scottish Barley "The Classic Laddie" is unpeated, which sets it apart from other single malt whiskies from the island of Islay. This light golden whisky was stored in American oak barrels. On the nose and palate, the Scottish Barley "The Classic Laddie" shows fine nuances of caramelized fruit, brown sugar and, of course, malt. The finish is of medium length and permeated with floral and fruity notes. For a "standard" malt, the Scottish Barley "The Classic Laddie" is extremely high quality and is completely convincing!
