Bruichladdich – Port Charlotte
There are nine working distilleries in Islay, the first one I visited was Bruichladdich in Port Charlotte on the way home.
Bruichladdich was built in 1881 by the Harvey brothers. The Harveys were a dynastic whisky family that had owned two Glasgow distilleries since 1770, and they used an inheritance to open up a third one in Islay. Back then, it was a state-of-the-art, modern working distillery, especially compared to other ones in Islay, which started in farmhouses.
