Bruichladdich

Bruichladdich is the distillery, built in 1881, and an excellent tour it does too. I am rather in favour of this place because they sponsored the first Scottish Islands Peaks Race I entered in the early 1990s, it was rescued from its corporate mothballs in 2000 and is now privately owned but all the workers have shares in the company, almost everything is done on site with the original Victorian machinery (and nae computers), and the low peat whisky is delicious (the peaty stuff is for others) (ph 01496 850190).
