Bruichladdich Oc4 Elements of Islay (2010-2017) is a limited edition single malt Scotch whisky known for its peaty character, maritime influence, and complexity, making it a sought-after expression among whisky enthusiasts.
Bruichladdich is located in the Rhinns of the isle of Islay in the westernmost part of the isle. It was founded in 1881 by three brothers: William, John and Robert Harvey.
The bay formed under the chin and neck is called Loch Indaal and Bruichladdich Distillery is on the northern shore of this bay. The word “Bruichladdich” can be translated as “rocky lee (left-hand) shore”, which makes total sense when you look at a map.
At the time, its design and the tall stills that were used to get a much more pure spirit, made the distillery stand out compared to the rest farm distilleries of the isle.
The Harvey brothers ran the distillery until 1936, and after it was sold there would be an era of mothballing and further changes in ownership. Murray McDavid purchased the distillery in 2001, and later in 2012 Remy Cointreau acquired the distillery.
The distillery works in a traditional way where no computers are used, and much of the Harvey family equipment is still in use.
When it comes to Whisky, it offers 3 expressions: Bruichladdich which is unpeated, Port-Charlotte which is peated and Octomore (named after a small farm that produced whisky back in 1816) which is super heavily peated.
