It has been owned by Rémy Cointreau since 2012.Barley doesn't grow well on Islay, so most is imported from other regions.  But Bruichladdich didn't like that, so they worked with a local farmer and have Islay-grown barley, over half is grown in Islay nowTo help it grow, they began rotating crops by adding Rye. Rye has not been grown on Islay, so this was brand new.  They have a rye now!Our Bottle: Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie"Trickle distilled" refers to a slow distillation process, often involving multiple runs (like triple distillation), where heat is carefully controlled for a gentle drip, resulting in a purer, lighter, smoother spirit by separating heavier compounds (congeners) and capturing lighter, more floral flavors, famously used in Irish whiskey and certain Scotch malts.On average, our Classic Laddie batches are made from 76 different casks, comprising 4 vintages of spirit, 3 barley types, and 7 cask types.Our bottle is 25/050A VATTING OF 81 CASKS, 5 VINTAGES, 6 BARLEY TYPES AND 10 CASK TYPESSupport the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!
