The Bruichladdich distillery, located on the picturesque island of Islay in Scotland, stands for innovation and tradition in the craft of whisky. Since its foundation in 1881, it has made a name for itself by producing unique single malt Scotch whiskies that are characterized by their character and complexity. Bruichladdich focuses on sustainability and local raw materials, with the barley malt coming exclusively from the surrounding fields of Islay and the pure spring water from the island forming the basis for the whiskies. As the largest private employer on Islay, Bruichladdich Distillery plays a key role in the local economy and community. It symbolizes a successful marriage of traditional craftsmanship with forward thinking, making it a shining example in the world of whisky.

Bruichladdich Eighteen is a single malt Scotch whisky matured exclusively on Islay, with a primary maturation in ex-bourbon casks and a complementary maturation in a select number of wine casks.

The use of barley from both mainland Scotland and Islay, including organically grown varieties, contributes to the uniqueness of this unpeated single malt. Before bottling, it is matured for nine months in ex-bourbon, Sauternes and port casks. The Bruichladdich Eighteen illustrates the distillery's commitment to sustainable cultivation and the promotion of the local community on Islay.
