Built in 1881 on the wild Scottish island of Islay, their 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 men and women. Bruichladdich implements revolutionary, modern interpretations of time-honored ideas and challenges the comfortable conventions of a whisky establishment. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRejecting the onset of modern automation and homogenization, Bruichladdich Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, only considers production methods that place the quality of liquid above everything else. Diversity starts in the field. Provenance is key. They believe the interaction of man, land, soil and climate is paramount. They value their farmer relationships, reconnecting that lost cycle between farmer and distiller -- land and spirit. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe modern Bruichladdich Distillery is known as the most experimental and adventurous of the Scottish distilleries. Head distiller Adam Hannett has released a series of three very old Bruichladdich whiskies that he describes as ‘The last of their kind.”  The final three parcels of casks from distillations in 1984, 1985 and 1986 have now been bottled at the Islay distillery. Adam says: “These rare, old single malts are a direct link to our past, to the men who made truly special spirit here while facing very different circumstances to those which we enjoy today. Testament to their skill and hard work it was laid down to mature by the shores of Loch Indaal, unaware of what the future might bring.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis 1985: Hidden Glory expression “comes from the final 22 casks of legacy stock originally filled into gentle third fill bourbon casks that lay untouched until 2012 when it was re-casked into fresh Bourbon before a final coup de grace in French oak from one of the greatest French chateaux” (producer).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis whisky was originally filled into gentle third fill bourbon casks and lay untouched in a warehouse until 2012, when it was re-casked into fresh bourbon barrels, and then finished in French oak in 2017. This unpeated Islay is a limited release of only 4,200 bottles.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up your bottle today!                                        \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Scotch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all!
