Bruichladdich
Dating from 1881, this Harvey Brother's distillery was comsidered state-of-the-art and unlike other Islay's distilleries which had developed
from old farm buildings. It was built from stone from the sea shore and has a very efficient layout, built around a large, spacious courtyard. The distillery was purchased on December 19, 2000 by a group of private investors and between January and May 2001 the whole distillery was dismantled and reassembled, with the original Victorian décor and equipment retained (such as the original 'open 7-tonne mashtun' ... one of the few still in existence).
