The Islay distillery Bruichladdich, whose name means “beach corner”, was built in 1881 by the Harley brothers. After the distillery had been closed for some time, it was announced on 20 December 2000 that it would soon be back in operation. The first new make flowed from the stills in May 2001. Bruichladdich’s success is closely linked to the work of one of the most important men in the Scottish whisky scene \u2013 Jim McEwan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This bottling dates from 2009 and matured for a full 16 years in a rare Rivesaltes hogshead. Rivesaltes is a traditional, sweet French dessert wine from Roussillon \u2013 known for its aromas of honey, dried fruit, nuts, and warm spices. Such a cask imparts a deep, fruit-forward complexity to the Bruichladdich, perfectly complementing the distillery’s maritime character. At 58.3% ABV, this single malt comes in its natural strength \u2013 powerful, aromatic, and untamed.<\/p>\n
The rhinoceros on the label symbolizes precisely that: strength, earthiness, and a certain majestic wildness. A whisky that leaves a lasting impression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":179355,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2340,2258,2851,2508,10242,2204,2276,2170],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-179418","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-bruichladdich-en","product_cat-distilleries-en","product_cat-independent-bottlers","product_cat-islay-en","product_cat-regions","product_cat-scotland-en","product_cat-single-malt-en","product_cat-whisky-en","pa_bottling_date-2025-en","pa_cask_type-rivesaltes-en","pa_country-schottland-en-2","pa_destillation_age-16-en","pa_destillation_date-2009-en-2","pa_region-islay-en","pa_whisky_bottler-svenska-eldvatten-ab-en","pa_whisky_bottler_series-keine-angabe-en-2","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
