This distillery (and the two grain distilleries) were used to supply the market with blended whisky. When the distillery was built, it differentiated itself from other Islay distilleries for its modern design and tall stills which produced a lighter spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery was badly affected by a fire in 1934 and, after it refurbished, it went through many changes of ownership. In 2001 a group of investors acquired it and promptly appointed legendary distiller Jim McEwan as head of distillation. Under that ownership, the distillery was revitalised and acquired cult status among whisky enthusiasts. Remy Cointreau, the current owners, took over it in 2012. The spirit produced at the distillery has a distinctive freshness and acidity. This characteristic shines even the most heavily peated expression from the distillery: Octomore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruichladdich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57630921916791,"sku":"P6503S","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2403\/2357\/files\/BruichladdichOctomore17.2.jpg?v=1792682204","url":"https:\/\/jeffreyst.com\/products\/bruichladdich-octomore-edition-17-2","provider":"Jeffrey st.
