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.
