Whiskey Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2014

Located within 15 miles of the distillery, each of the eight local farming partners undertook the risk of growing in challenging conditions to deliver the barley used for this 2014 vintage.

Being located on Scotland’s rugged west coast, unpredictable weather, and grazing wild geese and deer means a successful harvest on Islay is never a given. But it’s a risk worth taking, resulting in a single malt with total traceability and unparalleled provenance.

Bruichladdich was founded in 1881 on Islay. During its centuries-old history, the company has experienced a series of ups and downs, but in 2001, after Jim McEwan and several investors bought the company, Bruichladdich regained its former strength.
