SCYFOOD > Whisky Bruichladdich 1966 Duncan Taylor 39 Year Old Contact Customer Service ENQUIRY Like its island neighbour Bunnahabhain distillery, Bruichladdich has traditionally been an un-peated single malt, mostly owing to its requirements by the blenders who owned it. The last of these was Whyte & Mackay, who eventually shut it down in 1995, deeming it surplus to requirements. They sold the distillery to Murray McDavid in 2001, who launched the peated Port Charlotte and heavily-peated Octomore single malts in 2006 and 2008. A recommissioned Lomond still also now produces the popular Botanist gin there. Duncan Taylor was founded in Glasgow in 1938 as a cask broker and trading company. Its modern history began in 2001 when a former Glendronach employee, Euan Shand, purchased the firm and moved it to Huntly in Aberdeenshire, using the impressive cask portfolio it has amassed over the 20th century to become one of the premier independent bottlers in Scotland. Bruichladdich distilled in January 1966 and bottled 39 years later in January 2005 by Duncan Taylor. Bottle number 6 of only 230 yielded from cask #190. Bottled Strength: 41.4% Bottle Size: 70cl
