Bruichladdich Classic Laddie
Built in 1881 by the Harvey brothers. A brand that is radically avant-garde and conceptually brilliant!
The signature turquoise bottling of the Classic Laddie and the distilleries “trickle” distillation are but a few examples of how Bruichladdich are a boundary pushing brand! Bruichladdich are about time and perfection.
The distillery keep to their Victorian equipment and human interaction instead of implementing stainless steel and computers to run everything.
Personally I love the brand and the philosophies that they stand for.
All about time, quality, stubbornness and terroir!
