2010 Bruichladdich The Organic Scottish Barley Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Islay, Scotland

Bruichladdich is an award-winning distillery employing generations of distilling knowledge and the principle of minimal intervention. Built in 1881 on the wild Scottish island of Islay, Bruichladdich distillery still uses the original Victorian equipment to create a range of single malt whiskies that are trickle distilled, matured and bottled solely on Islay by a skilled team of 78 men and women. Bruichladdich implements revolutionary, modern interpretations of time-honored ideas and challenges the comfortable conventions of a whisky establishment. Rejecting the onset of modern automation and homogenization, Bruichladdich's Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, only considers production methods that place the quality of liquid above everything else. 100% Scottish organic barley, slow trickle distillation and premium American oak have produced the creamiest whisky to come out of Bruichladdich. During the Victorian times when Bruichladdich Distillery was built, all Scottish barley was grown organically. The relationship between distiller, farmer and soil was intimate and enduring. These ties were lost as modern industrialized farming cut through ancient synergies. Bruichladdich Organic is an ode to ancient traditions. Pick up your bottle today!
