Bruichladdich Distillery is situated on the Rhinns of the Isle of Islay in Scotland. The distillery produces mainly single malt Scotch whisky, but has also offered artisanal gin, The Botanist. It is owned by Rémy Cointreau and is one of eight working distilleries on the island. One interpretation of the Gaelic word Bruichladdich is "stony shore bank", referring to a post-glacial raised beach, though an alternative, perhaps more pertinent translation may be "rocky lee shore". Normally pronounced brook-lad-dee, or by some Gaelic speakers as broo-ee-clah-dee (depending on accent). Bruichladdich produces around 1.5 million litres of spirit annually. Most of it being unpeated however Port Charlotte (40ppm) and Octomore (80-258ppm) is also distilled from this progressive distillery. All the barley used is Scottish including some specialised grains such as Bere Barley, Organically grown barley and barley from Islay itself.
