We make change, we make progress, we make whisky.

At Bruichladdich Distillery we seek to produce the most natural, thought-provoking, intellectually stimulating and enjoyable spirits possible. We are Progressive Hebridean Distillers. Since Bruichladdich’s resurrection in 2001, our ambitions have gone beyond the simple idea of making and selling single malt scotch whisky. Our goal was to be an antidote to the industry norm.

The foundation for our Classic Laddie is not a recipe set in stone, but a distilling philosophy. We have no interest in precise uniformity, instead - year by year - the variety and provenance of our barley shapes our spirit, and an ever-increasing range of casks are sourced to evolve the variety of flavours in our warehouse. Never striving for absolute consistency, each batch of The Classic Laddie will, by nature, be unique and subtly different, but will emulate our signature fruity and floral Bruichladdich house style.

We bottle our Classic Laddie at 50% ABV, versus the average of 40-46%. The flavour of our spirit at 50% ABV is barley forward, meaning you taste more of the Scottish malt we have worked hard to trace. We will not stretch our spirit and compromise on quality for the sake of profit.
