From the book 'The Scottish Collection' Classic Malts by Carol P. Shaw :
Tasting notes : A subtle malt, and less medicinal in its flavour than other Islay whiskies, Bruichladdich is a lightish, dry,fresh-tasting whisky. Taste rating = 3
Built in 1881, Bruichladdich is Scotland's most westerly distillery. Its water comes from an inland reservoir and,unlike the other distilleries, is not drawn from springs which have flowed over peaty land;this has been suggested as a reason why its peaty flavour is less intense than other Islay malts.Bruichladdich was owned by Invergordon Distillers from 1972 until 1993, but since the company's acquision that year by Whyte &Mackay, it has been mothballed along with two of the group's other distilleries, Tamnavulin and Tullibardine.
