"Situated on the Hebridean island of Islay, Bruichladdich (founded in 1881, revived in 2001) was the first Scotch whisky company in the world to achieve B Corp certification. Now owned by Remy Cointreau, the distillery is home to three well-known single malt brands: the unpeated Bruichladdich and the heavily peated Port Charlotte and Octomore."
"Since the distillery's 2001 relaunch, Bruichladdich has focused heavily on terroir and keeping their production as locally on Islay as possible. According to the brand, all of their single malts are conceived, distilled, matured and bottled solely on the island, only one of two distilleries that can make that claim."
""Rye will sequester nutrients back into the soil after another grain has been grown and extracted those nutrients," explains Rab McEachern, the head of brand education at Bruichladdich. "It aerates the soil, aids draining and it stops pooling of water in the top of the soil. So that means when you go to plant the next cereal, you've effectively got almost a pre-plowed field.""
Bruichladdich is an Islay distillery founded in 1881 and revived in 2001 that achieved B Corp certification and produces three single malts. The distillery conducts conception, distillation, maturation and bottling entirely on Islay, making it one of two distilleries able to claim fully island-based production. The Laddie Rye was made from locally-grown Islay rye and malting barley, with rye selected for its regenerative benefits to soil structure and nutrients. Production proved challenging because the nineteenth-century facility was built for barley, and the resulting spirit is positioned between American rye and traditional Scotch.
