Bruichladdich 20 Year Old
Second Edition - Flirtation
F. Paul Pacult, editor of the
Spirit Journal and a leading global authority on beverage alcohol, applauds
Reynier for striking out on a new path.
"Bruichladdich has, in the last half decade, shown the kind of adventurous soul
that helps keep the Scotch whisky category fresh and intriguing," he says. "If
purists bellyache, they will merely be displaying their lack of imagination."
Double Award for Bruichladdich in the
USA
In a unique double, Bruichladdich has been awarded the title of
Distillery of the Year for the second time in three years and Import
Malt of the Year for their Vintage 1970 by Malt Advocate, the leading
spirits magazine in the USA. The award was announced on Tuesday 21 October at
WhiskyFest in New York.
Mark Reynier, Managing Director was delighted with the news, ‘It’s extremely
gratifying to be recognised for our innovative approach to making whisky as
natural and authentic as possible and validates the major decision we made this
year to bottle Bruichladdich at the Distillery.’
Andrew Gray, Sales Director, agreed, saying ‘I’m sure that the quality, depth
and breadth of range we have produced in such a short time contributed to the
decision to make us Distillery of the Year. It’s amazing to have won this very
prestigious title twice, particularly since we’ve only been in operation since
2001.’
Jim McEwan, Master Distiller, who received the awards, commented ‘Winning the
title Malt of the Year is a testament to the skills of the guys who made the
whisky and the ones who looked after it whilst it was maturing. I had the easy
job. I found it, treated it gently - with respect - and let it speak for
itself.’
The award for the 1970 confirmed the five star rating already given to this
exceptional whisky by US Spirits writer Paul Pacult, who described it as
‘supremely sophisticated and integrated… a complete malt whisky experience’.
