THE ACADEMY "Jim McEwan, Duncan McGillivray, their colleagues, friends and family are to be congratulated for an excellent programme that enlighten the students and faculty, and formed strong bonds that will last into the future. To paraphrase Jim McEwan, once you have Islay in your blood and we do, we will forever be in love with Islay. This connection between Bruichladdich, Islay, the University of Tennessee and East Tennessee, that is rich in Scottish culture, will surely grow and all will benefit from it." - Professor John Collier, Head of Department of Chemical Engineering, The University of Tennessee. QUOTES FROM HAPPY STUDENTS
“This was the ultimate birthday present, the best week a whisky lover could ever have. I had only been at the Academy for a day when I told everyone it was the best week of my life”
“It is impossible NOT to be touched by the enthusiasm and passion of the team - from the owners to the production, bottling and admin staff.”
“This week has been the most wonderful week of our lives.”
"A whole new meaning to ‘Islay born and bred’”
“What did I enjoy most? Turning the handles on the spirit safe.”
“If single malt whisky has a spiritual leader it must be Jim McEwan”
“I can’t imagine a more hospitable group of people. Everyone was so willing to answer any questions and help in any way they could”
“Other than getting married, and the birth of my daughter, this was the best experience of my life.”
“If you want to learn the traditional art of making whisky complete with an appreciation for the influences of local culture, customs, climate and geography, this is the place to find it.”
“Humbled and honoured. What an unforgettable experience”
“I don’t think I have felt more welcome anywhere else - except maybe in my own home”
“It is a wonderful experience”
"I recommend this experience to anyone - whether you work in the business, are a lover of single malt, or of life"
