The Bruichladdich distillery was built in 1881 by the Harvey brothers, from a family that had long owned distilleries including Glasgow's Yoker and Dundas Hill. Robert, John and William Harvey combined youthful enthusiasm, whisky knowledge and ambition to create a revolutionary new type of distillery.
For them, distillation has nothing to do with industrial production: it is an ancient art that has fascinated the human spirit for centuries. An almost mysterious art and an enigmatic alchemy, which goes deeply into the spirit of each Master Distiller.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
