DISTRICT |
Loch Indaal |
Bruichladdich (pronounced “Brook Laddie”) is on the north
shore of
Loch Indaal.
Its water rises from iron-tinged stone, and flows lightly over peat. The
stills have tall necks, producing a relatively light, clean spirit.
Unlike the other
Islay distilleries, Bruichladdich is separated from the sea,
albeit only by a quiet, coastal road. Its lightly tasty whisky is a good
introduction to
Islay malts. The distillery was founded in 1881, rebuilt in 1886 and,
despite an extension in 1975, remains little changed. Some independent
bottlers call the whisky Lochindaal. An unrelated distillery of that
name, long closed, vestigially survives a couple of miles further west at
Port Charlotte.
HOUSE STYLE
Light to medium, firm, hint of passion fruit, salty. Very drinkable.
Aperitif.
