The annual report is lengthy reading and that is largely due to the sheer breadth of the areas in which Bruichladdich is actively aiming to improve. These areas extend from agriculture and biodiversity to making hand sanitiser during the initial covid crisis. How has Bruichladdich embraced the change? First certified in May 2020, notable aspects of the business that helped them qualify included commitments to their workers that included: So what of the Bruichladdich range? Well after the “reawakening” in 2001, we saw lots of experimentation with cask finishes, wine casks, and multiple expressions which was all a bit bewildering. They carved themselves out as an experimental distillery under the watchful eye of Jim McEwan. Much of that experimental approach has been retained under head distiller Adam Hannett, however the range has settled into a more regular set of core expressions and slightly fewer limited editions. Never striving for absolute consistency, each batch of The Classic Laddie will, by nature, be unique and subtly different.

Living Wage employment, a 5-10% bonus scheme shared for 100% of our staff, annual cost of living adjustments as well we private healthcare, life assurance provisions and 34 days paid annual leave as standard. We’re also a diverse employer with a sound training and development program, including 50%+ female management and an age range of staff spanning from 19 to 75 years of age.” On the sustainability front, Bruichladdich was using residual heat from the stills to heat offices, the visitor centre, and the bottling hall. They also switched to 100% green electricity. This is interesting as it relates to choosing a green energy tariff from the electricity supplier – which any of us can choose to do – however the production process still requires non-renewable energy. There is a target to change this by 2025. What this is…is an education. A lesson in perfectly malted barley with absolutely nothing to hide it, mask it or dilute it. This sense of experimentation has earned Bruichladdich a reputation as something of a rebel within the scotch whisky scene. A perception done no harm by a surprising run-in with a US-based Anti-Terrorism unit… Composing each unique recipe is a rigorous process. Adam must systematically sample and evaluate every spirit by nose, taste and mouthfeel.

The B on the Bruichladdich logo obviously stands for Bruichladdich, but now it can also stand for “B Corp.” After being rescued from closure by a group of investors led by Mark Reynier and Simon Coughlin, the distillery was sold to Remy Cointreau, leaving it on the firmest of footings for the first time in many years. Today the Bruichladdich name is known far and wide, with a dedication to terroir, provenance and experimentation at the heart of all they do. 100% of their barley requirement comes from Scotland, with 25% from Islay itself. The barley is separated by region throughout distillation and is then matured in a wide variety of casks from ex-bourbon and sherry to wine, rum and port. Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law. We shall first try to settle any dispute over a dram of whisky. Disputes that cannot be settled over multiple drams of whisky shall be solely submitted to the court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise. Hopefully this summary helps persuade you that we whisky drinkers are in the privileged position not only to enjoy this expensive spirit, but also having the option to make ethical purchasing decisions. We can avoid the companies that are failing to improve the world around them, failing to look after their employees or local community, and instead support those striving to make a difference. Nc’Nean is the only other single malt distillery currently holding the B Corp status. A slight health warning: Brewdog also hold B Corp status despite multiple exposés on the treatment of employees and the management culture at the brewer.

Regarding the vintages, perhaps a not well written paragraph on reflection. I am conflating what’s said with the code and what the write on the bottle. I’ll see if I can tweak this. This dram needs some time in the glass and the fastidious application of water to get the most out of it, but if you find the sweet spot the complexity is really great. The top-dressing casks help tame the youthful base spirit, given time to open up both the sherry casks and red wine casks add discernible layers to the spirit.
