Bruichladdich the Classic Laddie!

Send a textInteresting things about the distillery:Head Distiller, Adam HannettThe name Bruichladdich is an anglicisation of Bruthach a' Chladaich, Scottish Gaelic for Brae (hillside) of the Shore.Originally established in 1881, it was closed many times throughout its history, and its current form opened in 2001. It has been owned by Rémy Cointreau since 2012.Barley doesn't grow well on Islay, so most is imported from other regions.  But Bruichladdich didn't like that, so they worked with a local farmer and have Islay-grown barley, over half is grown in Islay nowTo help it grow, they began rotating crops by adding Rye. Rye has not been grown on Islay, so this was brand new.  They have a rye now!Our Bottle: Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie"Trickle distilled" refers to a slow distillation process, often involving multiple runs (like triple distillation), where heat is carefully controlled for a gentle drip, resulting in a purer, lighter, smoother spirit by separating heavier compounds (congeners) and capturing lighter, more floral flavors, famously used in Irish whiskey and certain Scotch malts.On average, our Classic Laddie batches are made from 76 different casks, comprising 4 vintages of spirit, 3 barley types, and 7 cask types.Our bottle is 25/050A VATTING OF 81 CASKS, 5 VINTAGES, 6 BARLEY TYPES AND 10 CASK TYPESSupport the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

Since the distillery was on the top of the hill, she could see the authorities coming.  She would put flour on herself to say she was baking to cover the smell, offered them tea, and put up a flag to warn other distillers in the area.In 1885, they moved the distillery to grow and sold the old distillery to the Grant family; it is now where Glenfiddich began.In 1893, sold to Johnnie Walker and Sons, but continued to be run by the Cummings family.Joined Distillers Company in 1925, which was bought by Guinness in 1986, and became Diageo in 1997.Our Bottle: Pipe Pairings: Prince AlbertCocktails:Research Sourceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardhu_distillery https://www.malts.com/en-us/cardhu Support the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!
