Introduction of High-Age Statement Whiskies

Bruichladdich has unveiled the inaugural additions to its permanent high-age statement whisky range: The Bruichladdich Eighteen and The Bruichladdich Thirty. Crafted entirely on Islay, these expressions epitomize the distillery’s pioneering heritage and dedication to innovation in spirits production.

Sustainable Luxury Packaging

Embracing sustainability, the premium releases feature an unprecedented sustainable outer wrap. Manufactured from fully recyclable paper pulp and custom-molded to fit the proprietary glass bottle, this eco-friendly packaging, devoid of plastic and manufactured using 100% green energy, sets a new standard for environmentally conscious design.

The Bruichladdich Eighteen: A Milestone in Provenance

The distillery’s first permanent 18 Year Old single malt, The Bruichladdich Eighteen, is a testament to the distillery’s commitment to provenance. Bottled at 50% ABV, this expression offers complete traceability from farm to glass, showcasing the brand’s renowned unpeated house style, with a rich and aromatic profile.

The Bruichladdich Thirty: A Tribute to Resilience

The Bruichladdich Thirty celebrates the resurrection of the Hebridean distillery, capturing a pivotal moment in time for the brand. Bottled at 43.2%, this limited edition single malt Scotch whisky highlights the sweetness of toasted oak, honey, and soft vanilla, a testament to its complete maturation on Islay.

Embracing Sustainability and Luxury

In line with the B Corp distillery’s dedication to sustainability, the latest releases are presented in the brand’s new decanter-style proprietary bottle, developed in collaboration with design agency Thirst. The bottle features an elegant glass closure, further reducing packaging and waste.

Brand’s Perspective

Gareth Brown, Global Marketing Director at Bruichladdich Distillery, emphasized the distillery’s journey and vision: “Our founders set out to create the most thought provoking spirits with provenance and authenticity at their heart – and The Bruichladdich Eighteen and The Bruichladdich Thirty are this vision realised.”
