Since Bruichladdich was taken over by Mark Reynier in 2001, the barley being used for the production has been in focus. They not only use different sorts, but also take an interest where the barley has grown. All barley used is grown in Scotland, 40% even comes from Islay.
There are three whisky varieties that are being produced: unpeated Bruichladdich (60%), peated Port Charlotte (20%) and heavily peated Octomore (20%). Since a few years the botanist Gin is also produced here.
The two barrels for filling your own bottles are a real highlight
