Description

Built by the Harvey brothers in 1881, Bruichladdich is situated on the Isle of Islay. For several years Bruichladdich was known as the local's drink of choice, and to many people's surprise, it is an unpeated dram. The distillery was in production from its opening until 1995 when it closed, it was shortly resurrected in 2001 when Murray McDavid purchased the distillery a year before. Since 2000, other variants from the distillery were released, courtesy of Master Distiller Jim McEwan, the medium-peated Port Charlotte inaugural bottling came in 2006 and the heavily-peated Octomore inaugural bottling came in 2008. In 2012 French drinks group Rémy Cointreau bought Bruichladdich. Towards the decade, plans for the distillery to build its maltings were unveiled and barley trials started to test sustainable farming practices.

The Heretic, 2001 has been named 'The Last of the First' as the limited release of 1300 bottles was from the last five casks from Port Charlotte’s first year of distillation in 2001. Adam Hannett, Head Distiller carefully married these five casks which previously held either American whiskey, rum or fine French wine. 

This was a limited edition, Feis Ile 2018, Distillery exclusive release from Bruichladdich Distillery.
