Bruichladdich (pronounced: BROOIK-laddie) has undergone a remarkable transformation in the past decade. From a forgotten and little loved Islay distillery to one of the most infamous and often controversial distilleries in Scotland. For some, it is the distillery they love to hate, while others love the quirkiness and unpredictability of their bottlings, marketing, and personnel. What's for certain is that Bruichladdich is one of the most consciously innovative distilleries and one of the least boring by any measure.
