New Distillery on Islay

BREAKING NEWS!

Yep, It's finally official. Bruichladdich has announced plans to open a new distillery on Islay - The Port Charlotte distillery.

I expect this will be the home of Bruichladdich's peat monsters and that Bruichladdich distillery will return to the lighter style of whisky that one expects - but you never know with these guys.

I saw the plans for the new distillery back in September on my last trip to Islay, and promised Mark Reynier I wouldn't talk about it until it was announced.

Unless the plans have changed, it will be a very stylish looking building - with room for community events for the residents of Port Charlotte . The existing Loch Indaal distillery warehouses will continue to be used for maturation.
