"Historically, not all malts from Islay were of the peat monster variety. Bruichladdich’s Classic Laddie pays homage to this style, a fresh and lively whisky with the oak and grain characters poised and balanced."

Bruichladdich
Bruichladdich (pronounced Brook-laddie), meaning 'bank on the shore', was built in 1881 on the edge of Loch Indaal on the most westerly point of Islay. In 2000, the distillery was purchased by a small group of independent investors (including Murray McDavid owners) who renovated the Victorian equipment and in effect, turned the Bruichladdich distillery into a working museum.
