Bruichladdich Distillery Company Limited

A lovely distillery with a decent shop. Staff are very friendly and samples on the tour are very generous. Unusually, they have some really good value merchandise as well.

Lewis the legend, and Merrin, the most amazing cocktail maker on Islay. Thank you for a great deep dive into Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore scotch. Plus a tipple of botanist gin. It was an amazing experience talking to you both about the Bruichladdich journey and the types of whiskey you produce. Really grateful to have met you both and hope to see you again in the future! You better print this out Lewis! The guys on the bikes.

Très bons produits, que ce soit en whisky ou gin. 🙂

Wonderful cocktail masterclass

Bruichladdich Distillery is a fantastic place to visit on the Isle of Islay, beautifully situated on the shores of Loch Indaal. The traditional whitewashed buildings, historic character, and working distillery atmosphere make it an interesting stop whether you're a whisky enthusiast or simply exploring the island. There’s a real sense of heritage here, combined with the distinctive character that makes Bruichladdich such a recognisable Islay name

We’d wanted to do a tour of the distillery but none were available during our time there. To make up for it one of the staff gave us a bag of six whisky samples to take away. One set each we thought was super generous. Thank you so much.

Uiteraard weer aan de kust gelegen. De stokerij met de mintgroene flessen. Hier stoken ze ook Gin en Octomore whisky. De proeverij was lekker, de 19yr, de 10yr en een Port Ellen 18 yr, heerlijke bank en goede begeleiding. De chauffeur mocht de whisky meenemen in kleine flesjes

Die Führung hat uns sehr gut gefallen.Es wurden alle Rückfragen sehr kompetent beantwortet und 3 leckere Whiskey gab es zum Probieren. Auch konnte man sich immer bereits beschriftete Fläschchen geben lassen, damit man sich als Fahrer oder wenn man nicht alles direkt trinken wollte den Rest abfüllen konnte.

My favourite distillery on Islay! Had never tried bruichladdich whiskey before my trip but not only is the whiskey (and gin) very tasty, the people who work here are wonderful. We had a wonderful chat with Mirren and found out so much about the history and stories of the distillery - absolutely made our trip to Islay and has made me a bruichladdich fan. So many different types of flavours on offer - go on a tour, go on a tasting - spend as much time here as you can :) (Can't shout out Mirren enough - all distillerys take note, this is how you make a lasting impression - she was an excellent storyteller, friendly and welcoming, and we really enjoyed our time chatting to her)

Bona visita, explicant la interessant història del celler i veient diferents parts de la destilerías acompanyat de tres "drams" molt especials. Entre ells destacava un Octomore 16.1. Molt recomanable!!

The ultimate distillery experience in Islay! An amazing tour featuring a unique tasting straight from the barrel. A heartfelt thanks to our guide.

We did the tasting and tour and it was AMAZING! Obviously they make an amazing product AND the warmth of their hospitality was amazing. OCTOMORE FOREVER!

10/10 visit. The warehouse tour was unforgettable

Beautiful place, great whisky and the crew is just amazing. I took the cask room tour and we tasted amazing expressions. Not to miss!

Führungen durch nicht aktive Distillerien sind sinnlos. Und die Dame, die die Führung gemacht hat, hatte es wohl eilig. Als Autofahrer gab es dann 3 Sample zu Mitnehmen. 1 * Octomore, 1 * Gin, 1 Bruichladdich Barley. Und leider gibt es dort auch keinen Teeraum für Begleiter. Lagavulin oder Bunnahabhain lohnen sich eher.

Second time that I've been to Bruichladdich and it didn't disappoint. Kind of realised as we started the tour that having a dram pushed into your hands as we got the pre tour chat, it was going to be fun. Watching a couple of ladies from across the pond rapidly getting into the spirit of the occasion, well you couldn't help but smile.. slainté 🥃

Super place and vision, huge diveristy of sipirts, go visit !

Great tour, helpful staff in visitors centre

Terrific tour guide who provided a mix of history, culture, and brewing processes all with good humor and wit.

Our warehouse whisky tour guide was truly exceptional. We got to try some unique whiskies and learned a tremendous amount about the history of the distillery. This stop was definitely one of the highlights of our Islay visit.

The team got us into a tour last minute and ensured we had a fabulous time. Super helpful, wonderful tour of the distillery and will be back!

An absolutely amazing tour and experience today! Ashley was incredibly knowledgeable and it was so cool to see the history of such an iconic distillery. Highly recommend!

Wir haben nur den Shop besucht um vor Ort Whisky und den Gin zu probieren. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und hervorragend beraten und betreut! Vielen Dank an Ruby die unseren Besuch so besonders gemacht hat! Klasse Whisky und ein sehr besonderer Gin. Wir kommen wieder!

Absolutely fantastic staff and delicious wee dram... Highly recommended 5*

Wir hatten eine super Experience bei Bruichladdich. Mirren erklärte uns sehr ausführlich das Mahlen, Mälzen und Brennen der Destillate. Am Besten waren die Drums in Fassstärke und auch der Gin- The Botanist- war eine tolle Bereicherung der Führung. Alle Gäste waren begeistert von den herrlichen Whiskys mit einer großen Bandbreite die wir versuchen durften. Die Atmosphäre des Tastings mitten im Warenhaus zwischen den Fässern war sehr cool. Alle Mitarbeiter waren dazu sehr freundlich. Diese Erfahrung können wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Warto zatrzymać się w tej pięknie urządzonej destylarni i spróbować (oraz kupić tak jak my) whisky Octomore - podobno najbardziej torfowa ze wszystkich whisky. Super doświadczenie, bardzo miła pani na barze. Jedna z fajniejszych destylarnii.

The Bruichladdich whisky tasting gives you a taste of three differently peated whiskies (Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore) right from the cask in the aging warehouse while having your tour guide give you interesting information about the specific whiskies and being a nice dude all the while. The whisky shop looks very great having bottles displayed on the walls and along the ceiling. Make sure to check it out and try a few of the whiskies

Super unterhaltsames Tasting, Lewis war ein Top-Guide. Danke dafür

Wie immer eine super Erfahrung! Schottland geht nicht ohne Islay und Islay gejt nicht ohne Bruichladdich!

One of the best places on earth. Bruichladdich is my favorite distillery since many many years and I have visited this distillery around twenty times during the years. I love to make whisky warehouse tours or The Botanist tours. Visiting the Bruichladdich family in person und to have a chat with the people behind this outstanding whiskys and gins is always a big pleasure!

Great tasting experience! Our guide, Katrina, blended history of the brewery, island insight, and personal experience to provide something magical. One of the best walkthroughs of what the distillery is, why the products are what they are, and how the philosophy shapes them. Absolutely the best offering possible.

Superb distillery to visit. Must be the most authentically and traditional that I’ve visited. The process equipment is not a stainless steel industrial produce as much as possible production line. There is care, skill, experience and passion. Plus the whisky is amazing. A reflection of the staff and their work.

I have been a loyal Bruichladdich customer and supporter for many years, which makes writing this review particularly disappointing. On 17 June, I contacted both the German and UK customer support teams regarding a damaged bottle that arrived broken and completely leaked during transit. The bottle in question was a limited-edition UBA Redux release, costing approximately €375 and limited to 2,500 bottles worldwide. I reported the issue immediately, provided detailed photographs, and expected at least a confirmation that my complaint had been received. What followed was complete silence. I received no response from the German customer support team. I received no response from the UK customer support team. After several days, I attempted to contact Bruichladdich through Instagram and received no response there either. The only person who ever replied was a member of the Facebook Messenger team. He was professional, helpful, and genuinely tried to assist. He repeatedly escalated the case internally and kept me informed. Without his efforts, I seriously doubt my complaint would have been addressed at all. Eventually, I received a PayPal refund. However, even after the matter was resolved financially, I still never received a single email from either customer support team. No acknowledgement, no explanation, no apology, and no direct communication regarding my complaint. To be clear, shipping damage can happen. I do not blame a company for the occasional broken bottle. What I do hold a company accountable for is how it treats customers when something goes wrong. For a premium whisky producer selling bottles worth hundreds of euros, the complete absence of customer service is unacceptable. A simple acknowledgement or status update would have taken less than a minute to send. Instead, I was left chasing responses across multiple channels while receiving no communication from the departments actually responsible for customer support. What disappoints me most is that this experience has fundamentally changed my perception of a brand I admired for many years. Bruichladdich has built a reputation around quality, authenticity, and customer trust. Unfortunately, my experience suggests that these values do not extend to customer service when problems arise. I hope the company takes this feedback seriously, because no customer purchasing a premium product should have to rely on a social media employee to obtain basic support after receiving a damaged order. This review relates specifically to my experience with Bruichladdich’s online store and customer service, not to the quality of the whisky itself, which I have always enjoyed and appreciated. ————————————————————— Update: Update: After posting this review, I was contacted personally by Robert McEachern, Head of Islay Experience at the Bruichladdich Distillery. He informed me that he had investigated my complaint and was genuinely concerned about the customer experience I had received. He also explained that European online orders and customer service are handled by subsidiaries in the individual countries, and that the distillery team on Islay is normally not involved in these cases. I appreciate that he took the time to look into the matter personally, escalated the issue internally, and offered a sincere apology. That level of personal responsibility was exactly the kind of communication I had hoped for from the beginning. ———————————————————————— Update : Today, I received a replacement bottle directly from the Bruichladdich Distillery, shipped by DHL Express. I’m genuinely delighted and sincerely grateful for this generous gesture. I would also like to express my sincere thanks to everyone involved in making this happen. Your commitment to resolving this matter is truly appreciated!

Very informative guide on the story of the distillery and whisky, I loved this tour.

Bruichladdich Distillery 방문~

The best distillery tour we had on the island, can’t recommend enough. Ashley was a great tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, thank you for great time!

A brilliant distillery with a very different feel to many others on Islay. Bruichladdich has a fascinating focus on transparency, local barley and innovation while still producing outstanding whisky. The staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. It's great to see everything from the unpeated Bruichladdich range through to the heavily peated Port Charlotte and the legendary Octomore under one roof. A memorable visit and highly recommended for any whisky enthusiast

We had a tour and a tasting with Ashley who was really knowledgeable and answered our numerous questions. We really had a great time

Visited for the cocktail making experience. Catriona was an excellent host, and a real asset for the distillery. Made some lovely cocktails, learned some interesting things and all in party thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Many thanks

Lovely bottles :)

Great job and story telling by ashley during our visit. It was marvelous and interactive.

Popped in for a few drams. Comfortable seating and a good selection of whisky’s available to sample and buy. The host kindly let my husband try some whisky’s before he chose which drams he wanted to purchase. I was driving and there only seemed to be water available as a non alcoholic option… it would be great to be able order a tea or coffee.

Formidable expérience de la dégustation directement depuis les fûts. Magnifique distillerie, que nous avions déjà visité en 2005 et 2015. L'Octomore reste un whisky extraordinaire.

We did the Bruichladdich (pronounced brook-laddie) Experience and it was fabulous!! It was a tour followed by a tasting in the warehouse. We got to taste three different scotches (one Bruichladdich, one Port Charlotte, and one Octomore) and got to keep our tasting glass as a souvenir. Ashley was our guide and she was incredible. The distillery was so welcoming and friendly, highly recommend, especially for those not looking for something heavily peated.

I have been to Bruichladdich four times now. It is one of my favorite distilleries. They've grown a bit more corporate recently (but then again all Islay has). Their vibe is cool without being goofy (are you listening Ardbeg???). We had only planned a relatively short visit and then a tasting. We wound up spending a lot more time. Yellow Submarine was one of the best drams we had (and we had about 80!).

Lovely distillery. The tasting session was informative and very enjoyable with a fun and knowledgeable guide. The whisky is unmatched in variety and taste.

Thank you very much! The warehouse tasting was very impressive and very well guided by Ashley. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour with a great guide, Ashley knows it all and has a true talent for telling the history of Bruichladdich. The Botanist was an unexpected bonus. Highly recommended!

Excellent visit. Our guide was very interesting and kind. A great tour in a wonderful distillery!

Excellent distillery visit. We did the warehouse tasting and it was superb. Highly recommend to visit and enjoy a dram or two at their bar as well.

Wir waren am 29.05. zu zweit mit einem weiteren Gast aus der Schweiz zur Distillery Tour. Ashley war unser Tourguide und Sie hat das wirklich grandios gemacht. Sie hat sich viel Zeit genommen und alles sehr genau und auch für Nicht-Schotten und Whisky-Neulinge verständlich erklärt. Wir bekamen ein Tasting während der Tour durch die ganze Bruichladdich-Welt. Angefangen beim unpeated Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2013 über den peated Port Charlotte PC5 Redux bis zum Torfbombe Octomore 16.3 mit 189.5 ppm. Zum Abschluss gab es sogar noch den The Botanist Islay Cask Rested Gin zur Verkostung. Irre, was man hier für 25 £ geboten bekommt. Wir wurden durch die gesamte Produktion geführt inkl. Besichtigung des Warehouses. Beste Tour ever! Und das Ganze auch noch optisch sehr ansprechend verkörpert durch Ashley - wirklich sweet ;-) tolle Mitarbeiterin! Das Visitors-Center ist ebenfall toll gemacht - die Feis Ile Edition Yellow Submarine haben wir dann aber anderen übrig gelassen :-) Wir können nur jedem Islay-Besucher und Whisky-Liebhaber diese Tour empfehlen

Great whisky and gin! Worth a visit for sure!

Whilst we did not do a tour or tasting we spent a good amount of time in the shop talking with the extremely knowledgeable staff tasting both whisky and gin. Whilst owned by a larger multinational, it is clear that the roots and ethos of the brand has been maintained and their offering is a very authentic and genuine local product.

Really disappointing and overpriced masterclass at feis 2026

Bruichladdich is a dream visit! Everything is just about perfect, especially the guided tour (thank you, Ruby!) and its exclusive wee drams! 💙

We had a fantastic time with Merrin during our tour of the distillery + warehouse 6 tasting. She was knowledgeable, funny and just really happy. The whiskys were delicious and trying the gin was an unexpected surprise (we're definitely adding it to our rotation). The place is beautiful and the people were great. 10/10 would recommend

Wir waren nur im "Laddie shop" und haben uns da einen dram gegönnt. Super entspannte Stimmung, kompetentes, freundliches Personal und ein wirklich tolles Angebot.

參觀了Bruichladdich這廠，這品牌有點煩，煩得可愛。 1881年面向Loch Indaal而建，2001年重開後即宣戰，每瓶酒都告訴你大麥從哪塊田來，哪個農夫種的，幾月收割，像一份過分詳盡的學術報告。光線、潮色、大麥品種、農場名字，全部入檔、全部公開，是一個不肯說謊的哲學家，把釀酒變成一場關於風土的長篇論文。有興趣又讀得懂的人，會傾倒在這廠上。 2款主打系列，Classic Laddie無泥煤，瓶子是天藍色的，設計像藝術品，喝的是花香與海風；Octomore泥煤值破紀錄，科學怪人式創新推到極限。 重開後由員工及當地社區共同參與，100% Scottish barley系列堅持只用蘇格蘭本土大麥，風土主義貫徹到底。酒廠不只是生意，是Islay島上的公共資產。 科學怪人的腦袋，Islay貴族的儀態，叛逆得優雅，實驗得浪漫。Islay忌士忌從不缺個性，但一間廠擁有兩款極端的個性，活像一個雙子座的公主，在島上就只此一家。

Most enjoyable visit today. Lewis was a superb host with great storytelling skills. The distillery is not in production at the moment but Lewis’s tales more than made up for that. Excellent shop with a couple of really good distillery exclusives. Well worth a visit

A brilliant tour and guide and a fascinating story. Very good value for money

Great bar/shop, knowleadgable guide and excellent whisky! I highly recommend a visit.

We had a wonderful afternoon here tasting the gin and making cocktails 🍸 also we learned alot about the distillery itself well worth a visit

Une des dernières distilleries familiale Vous visiter l’ensemble du processus de fabrication La guide est très professionnelle et répond aux questions techniques On sent l’esprit investi

We did the warehouse tour with Mirren. She was absolutely brilliant, it was a fascinating couple of hours. What an incredible experience to be hosted by a seventh generation member of the family. We got to take the whisky from the casks ourselves, the oloroso aged one… still dreaming of it. The only regret is that they’re unavailable either to buy or drink anywhere else! We’ll just have to go back. Highly recommended

We had an amazing visit to Bruichladdich! We did the the Bruichladdich Experience - a tour and a warehouse cask tasting. Eva was outstanding. Knowledgeable, charming, and funny. She answered endless questions and shared her personal relationship to Bruichladdich and Islay, which really helped you understand the ethos of Bruichladdich and appreciate the whisky and gin more. The tasting was excellent, and I liked that they provided generous-sized driver bottles. We also tasted a few more in the welcome center - everyone in there was helpful and wonderful to chat with.

Had a fantastic time touring the distillery. Our guide, Eva, was outstanding; she brought the whole experience to life with stories about the challenges Bruichladdich has overcome, their deep commitment to terroir, and her own insights into the local community and life on and beyond Islay. Really love their sense of humour too (check out the ladder in the photo). Enjoying drams of whisky and gin throughout the tour only added to it. Easily my favorite distillery visit on the island; 10/10, would highly recommend.

Bruichladdich offers a wonderful tasting in one of their warehouses which includes drams straight from the barrel. It was incredibly informative and our host Ruby did a great job walking us through the experience.

Great distillery and a fantastic tour and tasting... and an excellent guide in Mirren. Cheers !

Went for a gin cocktail making class and tour. We were the only two booked in for our time slot but that made it all the more special. Catriona was absolutely brilliant at showing us how to make the cocktails and teaching us about the history of Bruichladdich distillery and their gin making process. Their gin version of an aperol spritz was amazing, better than the real thing! Would highly recommend this tour/experience to anyone.

Wir hatten ein sehr schönes und eindrucksvolles Erlebnis. Im Warehouse-Tasting kann man sich die Lagerstätten der guten Tropfen anschauen und in diesem Ambiente auch 3 Tröpchen genießen (die man leider nicht kaufen kann). Danach kann man im Shop noch ein viele andere Whiskys verkosten und natürlich auch kaufen. Wir werden das nächste Mal gern wieder vorbeischauen.

This was by far the best tour experience in a distillery I have had. Our group of four took the warehouse experience tasting and were able to enjoy all of our samples straight from the barrel. I recommend this experience over a standard tour if you are there to actually taste and enjoy the whiskey versus go through a typical “how it’s made” experience. Lewis was our guide and he was great! Thank you so much!

Very good and accurate 25ml pours during the warehouse tasting. Seeing the Chateau Delicieux casks was amazing. Thank you very much for having us.

We did the gin cocktail class with Ashley and the warehouse tasting with Katrina. They both made the experience phenomenal. Ashley was such a pleasure to talk to as we learned about the Botanist and made gin cocktails. I would book this every time if I could sit and make cocktails with Ashley. Such a fun and informative time. Both of these ladies made this distillery one of our of our favorite stops.

Had a great time on the distillery tour! Really neat history to the brand and the commitment to community and sustainability! Definitely worth a visit!

Ruth led a great tour. She was very knowledgeable and we had a great laugh from start to finish. A credit to the distillery

Tolle Führung, einige free drams, großartiges Team, sehr herzlich

Wir haben am 16.3.2026 an einer Bruichladdich-Distillery-Tour und -Verkostung mit Ashley teilgenommen. Sehr zu empfehlen! Kompetent und engagiert vorgetragen, trotzdem kurzweilig und humorvoll. Das Tasting war auch sehr lecker.

Specific explanation is very helpful to understand whisky. And Staff(Ashuley?!) is very kindly.

The views from this distillery are incredible and well worth the visit alone. We went for the Warehouse nr 9 Tasting tour and had a lovely time with knowledgeable and friendly guide Arianna.

Schöne Destille, informative Führung mit Ashley, schöne Auswahl zum Abfüllen für Handfilled Flaschen

I've been lucky enough to visit Bruichladdich and do their warehouse tasting twice, and I have no regrets! Our recent experience (Tuesday 10th March) was exceptional. As well as an awesome time doing the tasting, we had some delicious cocktails in the bar and sampled a number of Bruichladdich's iconic whiskies. If you have the opportunity to only do one Islay distillery, then make it Bruichladdich.

Great tours, very friendly staff, and nice cask selection for the warehouse tasting. Recommended!

Fantastic place to visit, needs to be a priority for anyone coming to the island. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and fun, the tour that we took was great, and their whiskys are phenomenal!

Fantastic tour with Ashley (sorry if I butchered the spelling!) of the distillery. Brilliant setup and we really enjoyed hearing about the way so much of the original equipment has been restored and is used today - a rare low-tech environment. The setting was great and the drams also very enjoyable. Well worth booking a tour, the best one we had on the island.

Catriona was our tour guide and made this experience the most memorable. We did a 10 day road trip of Scotland as a group of 6 and went to as many distilleries as possible and this was the best experience. If you're thinking about this tour, I highly recommend!! Catriona was very knowledgeable and personable.

Enjoyed the tour and found the staff friendly.

We had a wonderful time. This was by far our most favorite distillery visit after a few days in Campbeltown and Islay. Given we were alone on the Warehouse tasting, we were also treated to a quick distillery tour. The casks chosen were interesting, unique, and high quality. A big thank you to Katrina for being an amazing host. After the experience, Bruichladdich took the lead as my wife's favorite distillery.

Maybe because we didn't have a tour booked or entered too close to closing (around 4:15) but it was like walking into a bar where the bartenders are just ready to be done rather than being welcomed into a distillery. Still glad we checked it out but the experience was unremarkable.

The distillery tour was engaging and well-organized, offering a clear look into the craft of spirit-making. The guides were knowledgeable, and the tastings showcased a thoughtful range of flavours. A great experience for anyone interested in local craftsmanship and fine spirits.

Great tasting in the warehouse, my guide (who literally grew up 20 on campus) was one of the better facilitators I've seen. She was perfectly reading the room, giving the two of us (i think we were the last tour before the break, except for the lagavulin visitors center team who were booked in for their christmas party) exactly wheat we needed and not what we didn't. You could tell not only her connection to scotch was strong but also to the distillery and the island. A+, would recommend to anyone.

Great whisky, lovely and kind people

We Made a Warehouse Tour with Catnona at the 19.10.2025. it was the Best Tour we made at 7 islay tastings !!!! She Made it really good. Her english was excelent and way she did it. The distillery was excelent, and now i love the bruichladdich Whisky 👍👍 The Shop and the staff were also excellence Thanks very much Catnona 😊👍😊👍

Ein Besuch bei Bruichladdich lohnt sich immer. Empfehlenswert ist die Tour. Man kann so einmal hinter die Kulissen der Destillerie schauen. Absolut interessant.

Rebecca was amazing. She was funny, informative and told a great story. The whiskey was amazing. 6 of us visited every distillery on Islay and we all agreed this was the best of all of them. For the tour and for the scotch.

Bruichladdich distillery is amazing. The staff go above and beyond in every way. The warehouse 6 tasting is a must do if you visit. Worth every ££££. Hopefully you’ll get Catriona, Lewis or Ruby to host it. Also their whisky is very acceptable.

Really great expierience for our 7 people group. It was possible to see working distillery and our guide was amazing :)

Definitely worth taking a tour and learning about the history and resurrection of the distillery. As well as being a whisky lover, we have been drinking Botanist for about 10 years - never realised before the tour that it came from here. The whiskey that is produced here is excellent - well worth trying a few that you wouldn't usually go for. For instance, the Octomore 15.2 was a real eye opener. Very heavily peated, so was expecting the heavy medicinal aftertaste of a Laphroaig. Not a bit of it - very smooth and smokey like a BBQ or campfire. Beautiful whiskey. Can definitely recommend this as a distillery to visit.

Cant give 10 Stars unfortunately. But the experience was on a whole other level. Such counsumer cetric and kind. This is, going the extra mile without any excuses. THANK YOU VERY MUCH CATRIONA.

非常優秀的體驗 本次參加的是酒廠+warehouse 體驗活動 桶邊試飲了布萊迪組成的三元素（無泥煤的Beuichladdich, 中重泥煤的Port Charlotte以及超重泥煤的Octomore） 過去布萊迪酒廠應該是我最喜歡的艾雷島酒廠，但可惜近期的品項表現上常常不如預期 但在經過這次的導覽之後，對於目前的品項又有了一些期待（不過價格也是真的很高） 如果有來的話，非常推薦在商店手工裝瓶，畢竟應該沒有地方可以用這麼低的價格裝到此年份的原酒Port Charlotte 了 另外布萊迪也是唯一一家有寄送服務（應該）的艾雷島酒廠，而且是可以寄到台灣的，三公斤左右會是60英鎊，超過三公斤價格會上升很多，建議如果有想買的可以稍微抓一下公斤數，大家一起集資寄回來（寄回來的酒不會有英國境內消費稅，所以價格會再低一些）

Stoped in for a quick tasting. Was very curious about their super peaty whiskies. Had a dram of the Octomore at the bar … was amazing … the staff was super knowledgeable and friendly. My wife enjoyed tasting and chatting about their gin. Highly recommend this stop.

Well. This was utterly magnificent. Rolled up to the distillery, asking for a tasting as the formal tours were booked out. The lady poured 2 flights of truly heavenly offerings. Gave us a rundown on what is what and left us to enjoy on our own time, sitting in a comfy lounger, surrounded by many Bruichladdich things and easy music. Magic ensued. If you revere Bruichladdich whisky, I would highly recommend a visit.

Just pitched up at the tasting room with my dad, no need to book a tour or tasting. Free poured us free drams of 6 or 7 whiskies, all fantastic. Tried the Octomore too (super heavily peated) which is a must! No food, coffee/tea or soft drinks. Didn’t bother us, but some distilleries have them and some don’t!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Botanist Gin tour. Mirren was our host and she was fantastic. What an asset to the team. Under her direction we made 3 delicious cocktails and her tour of the production process was very interesting. There is a fabulous visitors shop where you can get your merch. 2 hours of great fun. Very highly recommended.

I couldn't imagine a better distillery tour and tasting. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and generous. Do yourself a favor and book the warehouse tasting experience. You won't forget it. I have a new found appreciation for Bruichladdich and am already day dreaming about my next visit. Cheers.

Muy lindo e interesante te lugar La atención de Catrina fue excelente y los ginebras los mejores !!!!

The Bruichladdich Experience tour /tasting was the highlight of my trip to islay. Generally whenever visiting a distillery/winery/brewery you get a real feel for who the people there are and everyone at Bruichladdich was just more passionate than everywhere else we visited. Winery visits in the past have influenced my purchasing afterwards and this visit will also see a shift in my purchasing away from others and more towards Bruichladdich. Lovely people and great products.

This was one of the coolest visits we had in Islay. It felt more homey than other distilleries we visited and the tour guides were incredibly well versed and had the coolest stories! We also loved their humor, ft the bruichladder! Also very cool to learn about The Botanist, such a special gin and an incredible background! Will be visiting again next time we come to Islay!

Brilliant distillery cask tasting experience, good information and knowledgeable staff.

We had a great time at the cocktail class! Ashley was knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly. The drinks were good and the company was fun. The space is interesting - we were within the main shop - but they have it separated by a heavy curtain. The living wall is awesome!

Visiting Bruichladdich Distillery was one of the highlights of my whisky journey. Located right on the shores of Loch Indaal, the setting is as stunning as the spirit itself — peaceful, windswept, and full of character. From the moment you arrive, the energy is different. Bruichladdich proudly calls itself the “Progressive Hebridean Distillers,” and it shows in everything they do — from their bold bottle designs to their experimental spirit runs. But at its core, this is a distillery deeply connected to its land, its community, and the craft of whisky-making. And then there's the whisky: the unpeated Bruichladdich, the heavily peated Port Charlotte, and the bonkers-level-peat Octomore — each one unique, expressive, and brilliantly crafted. The tasting was generous and insightful, with options to try some of their rarer or distillery-exclusive bottlings. The shop is beautifully curated, and the staff never make you feel rushed or pressured — just warmly welcomed. If you're on Islay, Bruichladdich is essential. It’s not just a distillery — it’s a movement, and one that any whisky lover should enjoy.

Me and my husband took a long walk there. To be fair, we didn't make a reservation for a tour as this was not in our initial plans and they could not fit us in the group for the tour. However, I was very disappointed of how cold the receptionist's attitude was. They don't offer a welcome sip like they do in Lagavulin or Caol Ila.

We had the chance to do a tour and warehouse tasting at Bruichladdich with Junior Brand Ambassador Eva MacIntyre, which was a rare treat since she’s usually traveling the world hosting events. Having her lead the experience made it all the more special. The tasting itself was excellent, with the 14-year-old Octomore standing out as the highlight. Pouring samples straight from the cask was a fun and memorable touch—and being able to help yourself made it a relaxed and engaging experience. (One guest even filled her glass nearly to the brim each time—impressive given the generous pours were close to 200ml!). Eva was outstanding as a guide—deeply knowledgeable but also very relatable, having grown up on Islay. She added a personal dimension by weaving in her own stories about Bruichladdich and the local community. It was clear how much the distillery has invested in her and, by extension, in the island itself. Overall, this felt like more than just a tour—it was a chance to connect with Bruichladdich’s whiskies, people, and history in a very personal way. Highly recommended if you get the opportunity.

Haben das Fass unserer Tochter besucht das dort schon seit 20 Jahren ruht. Wir waren begeistert von Mary die uns durch die Destillerie geführt hat und uns alles gezeigt hat. Das probieren der Whiskys war die Krönung und wir sind jetzt noch mehr Fans von Bruichladdich. Vielen lieben Dank Mary für den freundliche Empfang und die unvergessliche Zeit.

Really phenomenal experience. David was our tour guide, he’s incredibly knowledgeable. The whole experience was fantastic, and the distillery is located in a gorgeous area. Highly recommend taking a trip out here!

Exceptional whisky and gin!

Great gin cocktail making class with Becca. We learned about the distillery’s history and had a great time discovering new drinks. Thanks for putting up with us!

Perfect tasting!

Visited the distillery but didn’t do a tour. The visitor centre/bar/shop is large and stylish. There were plenty of exclusive bottles available and bottles of The Botanist gin as well as the Bruichladdich whiskies. Got some drivers drams to take away. Lots of info on their sustainability credentials.

Had an amazing warehouse tasting with Mirren. I've done all 8 experiences on the island, and the Bruichladdich warehouse tasting is the best.

Great tour & tasting session ( even though I was the driver & don't drink gin😖 ) our guide, Mirren was very friendly and informative. Lovely old distillery on Islay.

Went for a warehouse tasting, led by Ashley. Loved her passion for the product and the history of the distillery and its impact on this small community. The product is top notch, and we already liked it but we are definitely bigger fans now than we were before going. The tasting room/gift shop was also very nice and their selection of swag was great. Went home with several bottles and a sweatshirt, and a couple other small gifts for folks back home. We would definitely recommend a visit to Bruichladdich to anyone who goes to Islay.

Wonderful tasting hosted by Becca - thank you for looking after us all!

First of all, the tour and ware house tasting are very nice. You get some unique and very good ware house whiskys and the guide was very nice. The visitor centre is modern, but offers no cosy space to enjoy your whisky. If you dont know every single whisky offered all ready, the guys behind the counter are no help at all. They know the plain text of the bottle thats it. It's a little bit sad in that price range to not have professionals at the bar.

Quick stop by distillery shop. Was able to sample 2 whiskeys and they were amazing. Unfortunately the tours were sold out and we weren’t able to make a tour. But we promise we will be back

Tastings und Führungen sind möglich, wenn man sich rechtzeitig darum. Verkaufsraum sieht gut aus. Neben den obligatorischen Flaschen gibt es noch andere Fanartikel. Man kann sich durch verschiedene Whiskys probieren (gegen Zahlung)

Had an incredible time at both their feis day and the warehouse tasting! Rebekka hosted our warehouse tasting and was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend asking for her as a guide

What can I say, this was an amazing experience. So much history, the atmosphere, the smells, the taste. Our guide Ruby was honestly bloody brilliant, she never missed a beat, passionate, excited and above all really engaged with everyone in the large tour she gave. A really credit to Bruichladdich Distillery. Thank you for my introduction to Whiskey Ruby. 😍 All the staff were really nice and helpful.

힙한 느낌의 아일라 위스키. 피트가 매우 강한 옥토머어는 인상적이지만, 맛은 안정적이지 않았다.

雰囲気の良いゲストハウス、蒸留所全体から香るウイスキーの香り。とても良い思い出です。

hatte ein Tasting im Fasslager, war sehr schön und sehr lecker 👍🏻🥃 kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen 😎👍🏻

Ever since trying my first Ocotmore and Black Arts, I dreamed of visiting the distillery. I watched the Water of Life, which I highly recommend, and I started to formulate a plan to get to Islay. Fast forward to now and my dreams have been realized. I visited the distillery and went on a Bruichladdich Experience tour which was amazing. Learned a lot about the company and got to try some amazing drams! Our tour guide, Frazier, was an absolute legend and really took care of us. He was so knowledgeable and really made our experience even better. If you are a whiskey lover Islay and specifically Bruichladdich need to be on your visit list. If you don’t like peated whiskey they have non peated options and even a Gin. Something for everyone in beautiful scenery. What’s there not to like? Bruichladdich is simply a must visit! I’m already trying to figure out how to get back. Thank you Fraser for the amazing tour!

This was a dream trip to Islay and every distillery was amazing. But, Bruichladdich was a cut above. We did a tour and tasting. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. A must visit.

Toured Bruichladdich distillery this morning as part of my brother’s Stag and cannot recommend the experience enough. Rebekka was knowledgable, hospitable and sharp with the patter. She absolutely made the experience. The rest of the team were lovely and offered plenty of tastings!

I came to conquer the Octomore and I survived. I must admit, I will never drink it again, but I’m happy I did it at the mothership. It’s extreme but you do it in an incredibly beautiful tasting room. I also love the addition of the gin and there are plenty of cocktails to try!

Kathy was our guide for this warehouse tasting. 3 very good whiskies in the warehouse.

Can't recommend this distillery enough, great tasting for both whiskey and gin. Ashley went above and beyond!!

Φανταστικό αποστακτήριο στο νησί Islay.

Une expérience inoubliable. Le lieu est magique, cette distillerie a véritablement une histoire. L'accueil est chaleureux et la visite à été passionnante. Sans parler de la qualité des whisky dégustés. Incontournable si vous allez en écosse.

Wir haben am Warehouse Tasting teilgenommen. Es war eine unvergessliche Erfahrung! Eine junge Dame hat uns geführt. Wir waren von ihrer Expertise und ihrem Charme beeindruckt. Die drei Whiskys die wir direkt aus den Fässern probieren durften waren mit die besten die wir je getrunken haben! Es war das Highlight unseres Besuch auf Islay. Danke dafür.

Went on a lovely review hosted by our guide, Mirren . She did a great job brining us around and explaining everything about the distillery to us. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. Very much look forward to my next visit here, highly recommend.

Very friendly staff Had the Bruichladdich 18 which was really good Nice wee selection of cocktails, bit on the sweet side Would love to have more Whisky Cocktails!

7/5 stars: knowledgeable staff, great location, Ashley should get her own badge as she was very helpful and kind.

Friendly and helpful staff at the visitor centre. Great tastings with fantastic whiskies.

Port Charlotte is my fav whiskey so we decided to visit them for our 3 year anniversary, amongst some other distilleries on Islay. This visit was worth the whole trip and made me love this brand and whiskey so much more! 1. They were the only place that congratulated us and gave us a mini Dram as a gift. 2. We were the only people booked on that specific tour and they happily accommodated us 3. Katrina was the best tour guide, not only she was super knowledgable, she made everything even more interesting with fun facts and really taking her time to show us why we love Bruichladdich so much! Oh and we forgot some bottles from another distillery there, Katrina was so observant that she remembered where we are staying and sent someone to drop off these bottles to our hotel's reception! How amazing is this! True hospitality and we couldnt have asked for a better tour and experience at our fav whiskey distillery - Thank you Katrina

Wonderful visit to the Bruichladdich Distillery! Ruby and Katrina in the shop were wonderful and knowledgeable and we really enjoyed talking with them. Highly recommend!

A great experience, Eva, our tour guide and a native to Islay had exceptional knowledge of a great sense of humour, these qualities blended together made for a brilliant time for our party of six. Thank You Eva 🙏

We had a fantastic tour at Bruichladdich! It definitely had a different vibe compared to other distilleries on Islay—there was a lot less pomp and circumstance, but that made it feel more authentic and down-to-earth. Our tour guide was fun, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the whisky, which made the experience even better. No frills, just great whisky and a genuine love for the craft. The tasting was excellent as well—we got to try some unique drams you don’t find everywhere. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a more relaxed, but still educational, distillery experience!

Without a doubt the warmest tasting reception we had on our two week whisky trip. Ashley, was kind, patient and provided lots of information. The best overall experience, and amazing whisky to boot! You can’t go wrong here. (We bought our first bottle of whisky here - we couldn’t not!)

Bruichladdich is always my favorite destilliery tour on Islay. If you have time for only one go for the Warehouse experience, you will be able to try 3 unique drams in an even mir unique environment. Sitting in the warehouse with all the history of amazing cakes sprung you and being able to try a Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore is as good as it gets. Have done it 3 times by now and the guides were always sublime. Our last one was Eva the Junior Marketing Manager and she packaged a lot of every, passion and knowledge in the tour. Best time on the island and we will be back next year. Thank you very much.

The best distillery tour I’ve been on! Bruichladdich is like stepping into a working Victorian distillery, it’s totally unique compared to any other distillery I’ve been to. Our tour guide Katrina was fantastically knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. I’d also like to say a special thank you to Katrina for being able to book my friends and I onto a tour less than 24 hours in advance, it was very much appreciated. Unlike other tours on the island for £20 they poured out 3 very good drams at the end of the tour, with Katrina expertly guiding our tasting. Definitely not just basic core range bottlings but actual distillery exclusives and Octomore! Superb value for money and an excellent experience, I could not rate it highly enough.

Amazing whisky and amazing staff! That's all!!!

No service, very disappointed. Not greeted wandering around to do a tour or tasting - staff all chatting amongst themselves. Worst Whisky distillery we have visited in our 3 weeks in Scotland & Islay

Just visited the shop, but the staff were so kind and helpful, friendly and excellent products 😀

Bruichladdich was a top tier distillery visit and one of the best experiences on our trip to Scotland. The grounds were great looking, with bright teal paint, and easy to get to. The visitor center was large, with a bar and plenty of exclusive bottles available for sale. The warehouse tasting tour we tried was the real highlight. From start to finish our guide provided a memorable story of the distillery and generous pours directly from the barrels. 5/5 will be back again.

Fantastic warehouse tasting by Eva! Loved hearing the history of the distillery, background on the different spirits, plus a bit about growing up on Islay. We really appreciated learning more about their B corp certification and that there were special drams only available during the warehouse tasting. Hope to be back soon! 🥃

Trevligt destilleri Väl värd ett besök!!

Trevlig shop med mycket gott och prova, finns även Gin. Väldigt trevlig whisky och Gin

This was an authentic vaults tour and tasting with a very knowledgeable brand ambassador Frazer. Good value for money.

Oh wow. What a treat this was- here on a rainy day. Surprise!! Distillery tour was the best I have done so far- very personal and special. Seeing the vintage equipment was a bonus- Guide was very informed and clearly loved his job. Great distillery story. Also did the whisky tasting experience- and that too was totally worth it. By the way!! Great whisky- really really good! This was top on our list

Bruichladdich was a great place to start our Islay whisky weekend. The distillery and gift shop were great to experience and the tour led by Frasier, who showed us the Dave cask, was enjoyable. The included tour tasting was great and unfortunately my wife now likes Octomore, which doesn't come cheap! The gins are also great, including the cask aged and cask rested, and that's from a person who never liked gin previously.

My first time trying this whisky and I would like to thank the welcoming lady (young, very long dark hair) that was behind the front desk/Register. She was very informative and eager to share the legendary history of this unique long lasting distillery. Thank you.

La casa del Gin Botanist è del whisky più torbato Octomore. Visitor Center molto carino e possibilità di assaggiare tutta la gamma gratis. Fanno servizio spedizioni internazionali, Italia compresa. Fermatevi. Personale gentile e competente.

Amazing people, amazing whiskies and gin! A must to visit on the Island.

Popped in as it was on the route of our walk. Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable especially Katrina and Ashley. Well worth a visit if you're in the area! We will be back for a tour and another dram.

Incredible warehouse tasting with very informative and generous guides. I'll be back.

I visited the distillery with a particular bottle in mind that I wanted to try before buying, sadly, they'd sold out of the bottle I wanted, however I was informed how I might get one from an independent retailer and the team member also went above and beyond to get me a sample of the bottle to try. It was a sublime dram and an excellent customer experience. Thank you Fraser.

Nice location, good whiskey, lovely gin, nice staff.

おしゃれな小物がもっとあると良いなと。

Signed up for The Botanist Tour and had a fascinating experience learning about it's production, values and of course sampling their wares. Ashley, the guide, was excellent.

We took the warehouse tasting tour which was absolutely great. Three (plus) 20 year old drams: laddie, charlotte and octomore. it’s a winner.

We had a fantastic gin tasting experience here trying out four separate gins, including some that were cask aged. We are all big fans of Botanist gin martinis so to have Lynne McEwan the daughter of the original founder and Brand ambassador there was also a huge bonus! She was fantastic and hugely passionate about her subject of gin. This was a wonderful experience, which I would highly recommend, especially if you are a gin or whisky enthusiast 🤩

An icon among Islay distilleries: good tours available (book ahead!). It's not just about whisky here, though: The Botanist gin is made here too. We didn't get organised enough to join a gin tasting session ourselves but it did look interesting from hovering around the table behind the curtain where they were doing it..

We had to wait a long time for our tasting - mind you we had a booked slot made by Rabbies. We thought they probably wanted us to look around the shop and buy stuff. When we finally did have a tasting the chap was not very friendly. It seemed like he didn't really like his job and was very non-chalant with the whole experience. It was done hurriedly and the whisky wasn't even any good! All in all we had a not-so-nice experience.

We had an excellent time visiting Bruichladdich for an Experience tour. Sam was an incredible and knowledgeable guide, and personalized our experience for our tour group’s level of knowledge. She went above and beyond to share her unique wealth of knowledge of the distilling process, and of whiskey. For us, the warehouse was a once in a lifetime tasting experience. For anyone making the trip to Islay, i’d highly recommend considering starting your trip with a tour of the Bruichladdich distillery!

Excellent warehouse tasting. Lewis was a great host and the whiskies were fantastic. And the distillery shop is not a rip off like many other Islay distilleries. Well recommended. Can't wait to go back.

We did not have a tasting of this distillery but they did give us a couple of samples to try later (we were driving). The store is shared with The Botinist gin store and distillery. So if you are not a whiskey drinker there is a gin option. Nice store with some local crafts also

Fantastic distillery with a fantastic tasting experience. We tried 4 or so different whiskys and even the aged gin. Everything tasted delicious and the guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the drinks. Octomore 14.1 and 14.2 were the favorites.

A visiter une fois dans sa vie ! L'endroit est dingue et l'accueil professionnel et sympathique ! Super boutique !

Excellent place, friendly staff and a whole host of different whisky to sample

The tour of the distillery is highly recommended. And the whisky is expensive but good.

One of my favorite scotches. We did the Bruichladdich Experiance warehouse tasting tour which was amazing, sitting in the warehouse sipping drams of great vintages was an experiance I won't soon forget. We had 2010 Octomore 7.3, PC 2003 and Bruichladdich 2009 straight from the barrel. An amazing experiance and the guides were very personable and knowledgable. The shop was very impressive with what was offered. My wife was also happy to have their delicious Botanist Gin.

De passage à Bruichladdich, nous avons participer à une visite de la distillerie et une dégustation. Visite très professionnelle et intéressante. Centre des visiteurs bien fournis Point faible : pas de petits conditionnement de 20cl à part les classiques.

We did the cask tasting experience. What a fantastic experience it was! Great host, great whisky and perfect environment. Highly recommended!

Beautiful visitor area and very knowledgeable staff.

Absolutely incredible experience at Bruichladdich, highlight of the six distilleries we visited during our trip to Islay. We were on the island in late March to celebrate my birthday, and we did both the distillery tour with Ashley and the warehouse experience with Ruby (who taught us a delightful phrase in Gaelic, passed down from her grandfather). Both guides were really, really good and you’ll be lucky to have either if you stop by! The whisky included in both experiences was just phenomenal (ridiculously good value for the cost of the tickets), and I was given a very special birthday dram that became one of the highlights of my week in Scotland. If you were on Islay and could somehow only visit one distillery, I’d make it Bruichladdich. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Sehr schöne und urige Destille. Habe mich Schock verliebt! Nette Menschen und eine sehr kompetente Führung. Die anschließende Verkostung war der Hammer! Vielen Dank, ich werde das nie vergessen!!

Yummy samples served by knowledgeable staff.

We didn't go for the tour because they were so booked.. but it was such a wonderful experience to visit the visitor centre. Ruby who was there was so nice and she told us all about the different brands and the history. She was lovely. It was a really good experience

Had an amazing tasting experience. The staff were very generous with their time and super knowledgeable about their whisky.

Amazing experience, definitely recommend the tour with whiskey tasting in the warehouse, we’ve had unique samples that you can’t find outside.

I love Bruichladdich, they feel like a sparky start-up even though it's been around for decades. The tour is great: I booked a VIP walkaround with Ashley, a walking repository of company knowledge and procedure. She was dynamic and generous, engaging me like an actual person instead of just a warm body walking through a time-slot. I had a great experience, and the best part was the cask originals she decanted at the end, exclusive to this experience. If that's not enough to get you to go I have nothing else to say.

A relaxing afternoon tasting some deliciously peated whisky. The staff are amazing and genuinely love their work (let's face it, who wouldn't! 😂). Thanks for the lovely introduction to Islay hospitality. 👍

I love this distillery for it's old country charm. They have the best stage for live music and it just feels like a big family reunion at home

Amazing distillery. Spend an afternoon on a tour and a tasting and don't forget to take the time in the shop, where you can try plenty of drams.

Distillerie authentique et plutôt traditionnelle. La dégustation en fin de visite était incroyable. Je recommande.

Great time at the distillery, Ashley was a wonderful guide… answered all of our questions, usually adding a number of other interesting background and stories to the answers. Great selection of tastings at the end of the tour… not just the base range of products but new and unique offerings.

We had the warehouse tasting with Lewis. Nothing better than drinking scotch completely surrounded by row upon row of casks. Lewis was knowledgeable and had some good stories. He also has a great sense of humour. The highlight: We got to sample Octomore 7.3 right from the barrel! I thought this stuff from 2010 was long gone! (it is). If you are going to Islay, do not miss this distillery! Oh, and if you can’t remember Lewis’ name, just ask for Anna’s boyfriend lol!

Man man muss die Destillerie einfach lieben. Gemütlich ist es dort. Vor allem das Warehouse tasting ist sehr gut. Man kann sich auch 2 Flaschen im Shop selbst abfüllen.

Absolutely amazing morning this morning at the distillery. We had a tour with Ashley who was fantastic. She was down to earth, friendly and definitely knows her stuff. Thank you so much all four of us found the tour very interesting. We will definitely return in the future. So very tempted to move to Islay now.

I think this is the best distillery on Islay 😃 Ruby was helping us in the shop and she was brilliant, so full of knowledge! We both thought that she should definitely be the next person the head distiller chooses for the barrel named after the staff. I also felt that the prices of the whisky here are reasonable and cheaper than some of the others on the island.

Getting to Islay is no easy task, but it is completely worth the effort! Loved the tour! Our tour guide was so informative and very sweet!

Dégustation extraordinaire. Des whisky aux multiples profils pour tous les goûts et d'une qualité incomparable. Je ne peux que recommander cette distillerie aux amateurs, débutants et bien évidemment grands connaisseurs. Nous avons été accueillis comme des rois. Merci

Bei über 30 Distillery-Besuchen in diesem Jahr, war es hier besonders schön. Offene und freundliche Mitarbeiter(innen), die einem gerne alles zu den Whiskys erklären und auch den ein oder anderen Test-Dram dazu anbieten. Der Besuch hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und ich kann nur empfehlen hier mal vorbei zu schauen. Vielen Dank an die netten Mitarbeiterinnen!

Wonderful visit to the distillery! Served by Katrina at both the whiskey counter and for the Botanist gin tour and she was phenomenal! Just made us feel so special, will definitely be back when we visit Islay next. Top distillery experience!

Big shout out to Mary who basically adopted us and treated us like kings on a quiet morning in the shop. We also had a great tour here with Ruth. What a class act Bruichladdich are

This was my eighth distillery over my summer visiting the motherland, and by far the best experience, I did the warehouse tasting with Lesley, great banter, backed up with a shed full of knowledge, great fun and totally recommended 😊

You must come here on a pretense of self control. All the luxurious scotch is there for the tasting. One could seriously damage yourself. But the wonders you can try. Set off the water. They are innovative and charming. They offer the widest gamut of choices of Scotch I could ask for. and the staff is perfectly up for the task of making you feel at home.

Maybe my favorite distillery on Islay. Not just because of the great whisky and gin, but because of their always friendly and approachable staff. They are extremely kind and friendly - which means you almost can’t help to buy a few bottles 😅👏🥃

What an incredible experience this place was. I am absolutely floored with the job well done here. The workers were so knowledgeable and kind. Out of all the Distillery experiences I had on Islay I would come back here every day due to the amazing job done here. On top of that the Whiskey is lovely and unique. If you find yourself thinking if you should visit this Distillery, I'm here to tell you do not miss it as you will be doing a disservice to yourself and Islay.

This place is like Mecca, they do less tours in summer though so best visited outside summer holidays. Have me a few drivers drams (wee minis to take away) which was much appreciated

Shannon who led us on the tour is knowledgeable and helpful. Got to see the warehouse too. Didn’t expect to buy a bottle but got the Octomore 13.4 after the tasting — arguably one of the best Islay whiskies I’ve enjoyed

Classic Laddie is a family favorite, so it was truly an honor to travel all the way from the west coast of the USA and walk through those sea-blue gates in person. Our guide said he'd only been working at Bruichladdich for four months, but his knowledge of the operation was exceptional. He truly made the tour enjoyable. We learned so much through the tour and during our tasting. It was the trip of a lifetime; thank you Bruichladdich for making our time on Islay so memorable!

Hands down the best tasting experience we had on Islay (and we went to many!). We sadly didn’t make it to the distillery tour as it was sold out, but the tasting at the bar/visitors centre was PERFECT! Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the person with the short pink hair; but you’re AMAZING! Came here for the Gin, left the place LOVING their whisky!

Wir hatten das Warehousetasting mitgemacht. Das Tasting wurde von Ruby gehalten, die uns sehr nett und sehr ausführlich vieles zur Destillerie und ihren Whiskys, aber auch zur Insel Islay, erzählte. Dazu gab es aber auch drei grandiose Whiskys direkt aus dem Fass, die man nur im Tasting zu probieren bekommt. Im Vistorcenter gibt's aber auch eine große Auswahl, unter anderem stehen zwei Fässer für Handfills bereit.

GUIDED DISTILLERY TOUR is great, saw the whole Whisky making process and even got to try the core range ( Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore) for just 15£.

It was amazing. The girls, Sam and another one were our guides for the distillery and warehouse. Loverly and funny, both of them. They explained everything and more. I had the greatest time with Ingle at the master class of The Botanist gin. We have fun and speak about spices and herbs, botanicals and so on... I girl after my own heart. I love the vibes of the distillery itself. Old and new. To never discard an idea.... Lovely as well the drams we tried. And the treasures I found in the warehouse.

Lovely whisky, but terrible experience. Atmosphere was uncomfortable and cold when compared to other distilleries on Islay. The bartenders were very rude about not serving to people who are cycling or driving. Our group driver was singled out and rudely told “I’m not serving you then” (he wasn’t planning on drinking anyway of course). On another occasion, our group was pointedly asked if we were cycling and the bartender told us we couldn’t sample when we said we were. All the other distilleries on Islay were happy to serve us when we used the cycle paths and they kindly left us to sort our own safe transport. Will not be back to this distillery.

Very helpful and friendly staff

1. 工作人員親切且介紹詳盡，可惜只有試喝，沒有付費的tasting可以選擇 2. 很有自我風格，有很多小批量實驗性酒款

Eine Führungstour mit etwas zuviel Information und zu grosser Gruppe. Aber die Verkostung war in Ordnung.

Très belle distillerie. Et bien entendu des whiskys exceptionnels à déguster ou découvrir

Even without booking a tour we received a friendly welcome and a good choice of free (!) drams at the visitor centre. Good range of product in the shop. You must see the Gin bar!!!

Tilly was an absolute gem during our time here! This was our favorite distillery on the island and the best experience. Thank you for spectacular memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t wait to go back and experience it all over again.

Very knowlegable and welcoming staff. Highly recommend the whiskey and gin.

Very good tour, great tasting session and very informative.

Bruichladdich wirbt ja damit, dass sie die „Most Progressive Hebridian Distillers“ sind und wahrscheinlich haben sie damit recht. Drei verschiedene Sorten von Single Malts bietet Bruichladdich an. Den extremly peated Octomore, den lightly peated Port Charlotte und den gleichnamigen Bruichladdich der unpeated ist. Die Brennerei ist die letzten Jahre modernisiert worden und bietet einen hervorragenden Shop und diverse Touren an.

Great distillery to visit. I can highly recommend the warehouse tour.

Many years ago now. Myself and one of brothers. My mother and my dad. And aunty also. Very interesting place. On how they make whiskey here. I don't really remember how big a place it was, when we were there, it seems bigger now! :-)

Have been there for a distillery tour and it was a great experience. We had Catharina as a guide and she gave us interesting information with plenty of humour.

We visited Bruichladdich twice in one day, first for a tour and tasting, then back again after lunch for the cocktail experience featuring The Botanist Gin. Both were very enjoyable; we learned a lot on the whisky tour (it was interesting to see the similarities and differences between them and two distilleries we’d visited the day before), and then during the gin session we had another mini tour which covered distillery history not mentioned earlier in the day. The staff were all very friendly, the range of stuff in the gift shop was very nice—in fact we even purchased enough barware we had them ship it to the US for us! And if you like gin, the cocktail making workshop is great. We left with not only recipes, but mixers and more knowledge on mixology than I’d expected—not to mention the three drinks we had! We didn’t get to all the Islay distilleries on our short trip, but the next time we’re back, we’d still come back to Bruichladdich!

Our tour with Catrina was absolutely delightful! Recommend the experience.

We didn’t do a tasting or tour but popped into the visitors shop where we were greeted and assisted warmly, and even given some tasters for home! Their selection of items is large and they are all of very nice quality.

An absolutely amazing experience, I did the tour and the warehouse experience and loved both of them. I came for the octomore and stayed for the ambiance. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable and you could tell they loved their jobs. I would come back anytime and cannot recommend this distillery enough!

Amazing warehouse tasting! Leslie was awesome, and the rest of the staff too

Amazing tasting experience. The best on Islay!

Just show up at the store couter and start tasting. The friendly staff gives everyone a chance at being served and enlightened about the different whiskys. Every Bruichladdich fan will be amazed by the selection which includes a great choice of distillery exclusives.

Great tasting experience with Roxana - such a passionate woman who knows her whiskey! We loved the whiskey and bought 2 bottles! We missed the tour as didn’t book but we got a detailed tasting at the bar and we learnt so much. They don’t charge for tasting and are so friendly - I will be back for the tour one day. Bus into Bowmore is right out side. Thank you Roxana

Popped into the shop as rain was fast approaching and we are on a motorcycle. It was the best whiskey testing of the day! Roxanna (hope the name is right/ polish woman with a Scottish heart 😉) was extreme knowledgeable, absolute passionate about the whisky and gin on offer and very engaging. We had a great time and it was a shame the shop was soon closing. Thanks for the great experience. The Botanist is on my shopping list when we get home!

Probably my favorite distillery, the distillery is one of the prettiest on the Island, and offers a nice variaty of distillery exclusives. The tour is also really great and highly recommended, the staff is very kind and funny.

Did the Botanist tasting with Katrina (hope I spelled her name correctly 😳). She did a fantastic job and made the whole experience so much fun! Part of our group also did some whisky tasting (of course). Parking can be a challenge if it's busy. Very friendly folks.

Such a lovely place, with friendly staff and wonderful whisky.

Oh my god the Scottish. They think they know everything because they just happened to master the art of brewing barley using peat. I taught myself to make hummus and you don’t see me walking about on airs. Not only are they knowledgeable, they are also nice. Like excuse me? In this economy? How very dare you. Our distillery tour was conducted by a ne’er do well named Callum or James or some extra in “Brigadoon.” He knew things. Lots of things. And he wasn’t making any of it up! I’m sorry, I didn’t know this would be a truthful tour. You’re serving me delicious drams of Scotch *and* spitting facts? The devil is alive.

One of the best tasting experiences ever. Callum, our guide, was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about whisky and the distillery, and he made the overall experience fun and pleasant. The tasting lasts 1 hour and a half and we got to taste three different versions of Bruichladdich (Laddie, Port Charlotte, and Octomore) straight from the cask, each a unique expression of the distillery's character. An absolute must if you're touring Islay.

Yesterday we arrived at Bruichladdich for a warehouse tour. On arrival the staff were so friendly and the shop itself had a lot to offer. Calum who took us on our tour was very friendly and informative but kept it fun and interesting. Thank you for a great time Calum and making our experience the best. I highly recommend visiting Bruichladdie, the Whisky was amazing!

Lovely range of whiskeys and gin. The only place in Scotland we had proper explanation and free tastings to help us choose a bottle.

Ho visitato le distillerie Bruichladdich in agosto 2022 nel corso del mio primo soggiorno a Islay. La distilleria ha alle spalle una storia particolare che le conferisce una spiccata personalità, che si traduce in coraggiose sperimentazioni (anche a costo di infrangere le tradizioni) e in una produzione etica e solidale (malti bio, cooperazione coi produttori locali, gestione collegiale). L'entusiasmo del personale è palpabile e contagioso, sembra di essere in un laboratorio. Dal punto di vista delle altre distillerie, quelli della Bruichladdich sono un visti come gli "scienziati pazzi" del whisky isolano, e personalmente lo considero un merito. La visita del sito è stata molto interessante e la guida, Samantha, simpatica e professionale. Peccato che i macchinari non fossero in funzione, ma del resto era domenica pomeriggio. La degustazione è stata forse un po' al di sotto delle aspettative: mi sarei atteso dai tre assaggi di ritrovare un'espressione più completa del carattere anticonformista della distilleria. Inoltre, non mi è stata data dell'acqua per la degustazione, nonostante la mia esplicita richiesta: una nota stonata, peccato. In compenso, il personale è stato molto gentile a fornirmi dei flaconcini per conservare il whisky non bevuto: un gesto di rispetto nei confronti del visitatore (e del guidatore). Concludendo, consiglio senz'altro la visita, tappa imperdibile di un soggiorno a Islay.

Excellent warehouse tasting experience..tasted some specials! Made a purchase in the shop too!

Had a great warehouse tasting and a great gin experience - Ashley was great and very knowledgeable. Callum behind the counter was also very friendly!

The most welcoming Distillery on the Island! Great reception and attitude towards the client. And superb whisky n gin. Loads of thanks to Roxanna

Went to the tasting room. Excellent scotch samples. Super friendly staff. Go now!

Sehr schöne Distillery, nettes, freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Nachdem wir beim letzten Besuch die Führung mitgemacht haben, sind wir diesmal direkt mit dem Warehouse tasting gestartet. Waren sehr schöne 1,5 Stunden mit einer tollen Auswahl an Whiskys

Amazing place, so helpful and friendly. The whisky is amazing, the views are stunning.

Visite très intéressante, la distillerie vaut le coup d'oeil, le shop est magnifique. Callum qui nous a fait la visite a été très agréable.

Wir hatten die GIN COCKTAIL EXPERIENCE Tour gebucht. Sie wahren alle sehr sehr freundlich, lieb und zuvorkommend. Es hat unglaublich Spaß gemacht. Man merkt das sie wirklich mit Freude bei der Sache sind. Wir waren dann noch einmal da um verschiedenen Whisky zu testen… und was soll ich sagen.. großzügig, sehr sehr freundlich. Ein Besuch Wert.

Sehr schöne Destillerie, welche aussergewöhnlich ist. von der Architektur nicht so beeindruckend wie andere, aber die für eine Destillerie sehr große Produktauswahl ist überwältigend. Bester Feis Ile Event in 2022 hier. Die Führung ist sehr informativ und in familiärer Atmosphäre. Man sollte auf keinen Fall die Chance verpassen, sich selber eine Flasche Whisky von Hand abzufüllen (nicht möglich beim Festival). Sonst master class top, leider sehr voll beim Festival… Aber an sich nächstes Jahr wieder (ps: Taxis klären falls man mit den Boot zum Festival kommt)

Festival day. Brilliant, great musicians playing. Great whisky and plenty food.

My wife and I really enjoyed our tour of the distillery and the tasting at the end. Our tour guide Roxanna was very informative and all the workers were welcoming to our 11 month old baby. Filled up our own bottle from a cask in the shop. Would definitely go back again. Also, their Botanist gin is delicious.

Nettes Personal, alles in Ordnung. Nette Dekoration beim Gin.

Excellent whisky tour lead by Lesley.⭐️🥃

Really impressed with this distillery and tour. The staff were really helpful and accomodating to our large group of 12. We had Ruby leading us around the distillery, who was great fun and full of Islay whisky knowledge (not just Bruichladdich)! The tour itself is very interesting, full of quirky historical stories. There is a big emphasis on Islay ingredients here which makes the distillery a bit unique on the island. The whisky itself is really good and they have a real variety of styles and flavours. Their ethos of a progressive distillery is really apparent here with some really interesting drams. Definitely worth booking a tour if you are heading to Islay.

We went back in February of 2022 and stayed a few days on Islay. This was our favorite distillery on the island. The folks attending the shop were just so friendly and approachable and they had many different offerings aside from their core releases. That is something we didn’t experience at distilleries on the other side of the island. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Roksana and Callum were both a wonderful help in explaining the gins and whiskys, and a brilliant nice touch from Roksana of giving me the teetotal member of our group an iron bru during the tasting. Literally what convinced me to buy a bottle for my brother's birthday from here. Give these two a pay rise! Also a very nice disabled loo. Well done

Have to say the tour was the best we've been on. That's not an easy accolade but it's truly meant. Informative of the distillery history as well as the whisky itself. And staff who gave a proper sense of a great place to work and to be a part of. Thanks a lot.

Fantastic spot and great staff. Calum was the best tour guide we've had on a fortnight of distilleries, and we've been blessed with lots of great ones. Can't wait to come back. ❤️

Had Ruby for a tour and tasting. Absolutely fantastic experience and great customer service

The most amazing experience topped only by th amazing whisky. Must visit!

Great place and lovely story about the distillery.

This evening, my friends, husband, and I visited the distillery shop. Here we met Callum and Roxanna, who were incredibly helpful in assisting us with selecting whiskey and gin. Their hospitality and generosity was beyond what we expected. They showed us great kindness during our visit. We hope to see them again soon!

いつか行ってみたい蒸溜所の一つです！

Awesome whisky and staff. Lovely place!

After watching the movie Scotch: A Golden Dream I was super excited to come here and try their whisky. Due to covid we couldn't book a tour but we're pleasantly surprised that we could get tastings to go from the shop. Their staff is very approachable and knowledgeable. We will come back to Islay again and get that tour someday!

For me still the best visitor experience of any of the distilleries on Islay, visited on many occasions and even on this occasion with covid restrictions we still had a good time! Amazing whiskies, especially the Port Charlotte’s!

Ive never been to this distillery, or even Scotland at all but i have been privileged enough to have many drams from these people and they are all phenomenal, especially the Octomore line. If i could give more than 5 stars, i would. My first Octomore was the 7.3 Islay barley distilled in Jim McEwan's time as head distiller and i absolutely fell in love with the whisky. I even shared a dram of Octomore 7.3 with a hardcore bourbon whiskey fan, who absolutely despises peated scotch by the way, and he even said he loved it. Massive respect to the Bruichladdich distillery and i genuinely hope to have the privilege to visit this distillery one day

Great whisky, fabulous tours and an amazing shop.

One of the classics on this island.

Not to mention its adventure on its Peaty whisky portfolios, they sell nice design jacket.

As we were staying nearby we visited twice. We had the children so no tour for us, but the staff were no less interested in speaking to us and there's a good sized shop. The Laddie 10 is a fantastic whisky and would be my recommendation. I don't know why it impressed me so much, but the turquoise colour is really different and makes the whole brand stand out from the rest.

As the member of staff referred to by Laura Ann, I'd just like to say that her review is probably slightly coloured by the fact that I refused to serve her boyfriend with gin after she told me he was her driver for the day. Unfortunately you can't please all of the people all of the time...

The highlight of my trip to Islay: “Wee Ash’s” amazing Botanist tour at Bruichladdich. You learn a bit about the whiskey, and then all about Islay’s only dry gin, including a gin sample, a gin and tonic, and two gin cocktails. (7 units!) Highly recommend!

蒸留所ツアーはありません ショップが充実しています

If you want to be greeted by a rude prat then Bruichladdich's the place for you. Having spent over £50 on whiskey it was rather grating to be told they didn't serve whiskey (baring in mind most other distilleries on Islay do) but we could buy a bottle and had we been 4 minutes earlier pay for a tasting. Maybe he was having a bad day but please don't take it out on me.

Leider hatten wir uns für eine Führung nich angemeldet. Dennoch durften wir alles bis auf Black art probieren. Als wir zahlen wollten hieß es . Es ist nur Whisky und es sei okay . Das hatten wir sonst bei keiner Brennerei

All tours were full when i got there but they do tasting for whiskies up to 200£. I loved the gin!

Great spirits, and friendly staff.

Love their products and was worth the visit. Must go if you live this brand.

While I can absolutely recommend their product, especially the MC:01 which is truly fantastic, the customer service from the woman who helped us was unfortunate (older, blonde curly/wavy hair- avoid her if possible). We went in with a really positive and happy vibe and left feeling dismissed and unenthusiastic about the distillery. My boyfriend was going to get a nice bottle as a surprise but decided not to after witnessing that treatment- like a bossy, passive aggressive mum. Why work at a distillery tasting room if you’ve got a poor attitude?? 5 stars for the whiskey though tbh.

Best of six distillery tours we did on the island, helped by a brilliant tour guide, Sarah. Super whiskies and generous with the samples, highly recommend.

Great trip around distillery, thanks Ashleigh, the whiskey is amazing with varieties for every taste and the gin is beautiful

Feis Ile 2019

We’ve been on A LOT of distillery tours, and this was the best yet. Our guide was Jamie, and he was warm, engaging, personable and enthusiastic. The tour was the right level of detail, and included excellent additions like a taste of the wash (not unpleasant!) and some time in one of the warehouses. It finished with a generous number of tastings in the well-stocked shop. What’s more is that the whole thing lasted about an hour and only cost £5, plus that £5 could be used against a (70cl) bottle! Phenomenal.

Came yesterday just to look around and although the space in the shop is amazing- with a huge “living wall” down one side, covered in plants and a lovely smell of whisky and wood, personally I felt a bit underwhelmed initially, just because like all distilleries there’s loads of merch- from cycling tops to soaps. But today my feeling couldn’t be more different: took the PHD tour (Progressive Hebridean Distillers) with Jamie. I’ve been on a lot of whisky tours in Islay and across other Scottish islands and I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing the machinery in action before today- they have the original old machinery, some of it from 1881 - which makes it a touch more magical. It’s so much more personal than the tours of the Diageo distilleries, including being able to walk amongst the casks (amazing!) and seeing and tasting some pre-whisky part way through the process (pre-distillation) by taking some wash from the wash back, when it’s more of a German Weiss beer. Really interesting to hear the history of the distillery too and to see a working distillery - with really friendly and clearly happy staff at work. There was a generous tasting at the end of the tour- and so all in all a brilliant experience.

Tolle destillery, nettes Personal, wir hatten zwar keine Tour aber das tasting war sehr gut, klasse Whiskys, unter anderem der beste Gin der Insel, auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Good Whisky, friendly staff. Book your tour ahead of time if possible.

Great distillery, probably my favourite visit on the island. Staff are really friendly and happy to offer advice and tastings.

We arrived to an extremely busy shop, no one offered to help my family. When we eventually could move around the shop to purchase some merchandise, the man at the counter seemed uninterested in offering us any help, let alone to pay for our purchases or even try any whiskey. When he did give us the time of day, the man at the counter was extremely stuck up and rude to engage with. With no knowledge of whiskey, I asked the cocky server if I could try a few and his straight up response to me was “no you can’t”. Odd response as I was wanting to taste before I purchased a bottle. When he did give us some whiskey to taste, a tiny tot was shared between myself and the 5 other people I was with, which is absolutely pathetic. Two glasses of whiskey were shared between 6 people! The servers’ stuck up and rude behavior ruined the whole whiskey experience. I would not recommend the place based on an overall negative experience there. For such a famous brand, one would expect the best service. What a joke!

Wow guys! top distillery. Many thanks to d.hope.

Wonderful atmosphere at Feis Ile open day. Music and plenty of whisky. Bought bottle of Octomore 9.2!

Super Tasting, insbesondere gute Auswahl!

Another real find. Outstanding distillery tour, Sarah was a very knowledgeable guide and her enthusiasm is infectious. Excellent value tour (we only did the £5) that was insightful and a good walk through. Ok....I dont like the bright coloured branding, but the whiskies are FINE! I bought a sherried bottle I filled myself, and a bottle of Gin. Another "must" of a tour on Islay. Well done to all

Die Warehouse Tour war wunderbar. Es gab drei sehr großzügige Proben aus drei verschiedenen Fässern. Die Betreuung war sehr nett. Rundum empfehlenswert!

Five of us went to Bruichladdich shortly after the holidays and were fortunate enough to land a private tour. Ashley kindly answered all of our questions and took us through the warehouse and the entire distilling process. The tour was well over an hour and then came the tasting. Given that they weren't super busy (post-holidays) Ashley let us try any whiskeys that we wanted as well as The Botanist gin. Not bothering to measure an exact dram, she was free pouring and provided multiple driver dram bottles. This generous, unhurried, and easy-going experience was appreciated by everyone and we purchased a few bottles to remember the day. We will be back to this exciting distillery.

I've been to a few places a round the world. It's simply magical here and they make a simply stunning whisky. The gin is aces too. People are delightful, knowledable and fun. Shop is rammed with treats and there's honestly nothing not to like. In a world full on nonsense and marketing this is a rare gem. Shining brightly in the north Atlantic....

Für mich die beste Destillerie der Welt. Vor allem der Octomore ist bisher unerreicht. :-)

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff serving great whiskey.

Diese Distillerie ist aussergewöhnlich. Sie ist von der Architektur nicht so beeindruckend wie andere, aber die für eine Destillerie riesige Produktauswahl ist überwältigend. Die Führung ist sehr informativ und in familiärer Atmosphäre. Man sollte auf keinen Fall die Chance verpassen, sich selber eine Flasche Whisky von Hand abzufüllen!

Spätestens nach meiner Islay Reise ist mir der Spitzname Laddie für diese Destille geläufig. Hier geht es sehr familiär zu. Erstaunt hat mich die Tatsache, dass hier nahezu alles kostenlos probiert werden kann. Etwas undurchsichtig war für mich das Produktportfolio, da hier drei Marken unter einem Dach vereint sind. Aber was soll ich sagen - es schmeckt (trotzdem) 😉

Great Staff. Great location. My most favorite!

We missed the tour, but the staff were nice and the shop was good. Free tastings persuaded is to get a nice bottle of gin!

Pronounced “brook laddy” I learned after embarrassing myself. Helpful, friendly tenders offering drams and answering questions about what they produce. Definitely a younger, more modern vibe to their whiskey, gin, and advertising than the “established” distilleries on Islay like Laphroaig and Lagavulin.

Our tour guide brought us here for a quick stop and we wished we had taken the warehouse tasting. Great whisky all around. You can purchase whisky from two different casks in a 500ml bottle which are only available on this distillery.

I/we've done the tour once, but have visited several times on our visits to Islay. It is the most friendly and generous tasting experience of all the Islay distilleries, allowing you to sample most of their whiskies - a policy that works, as it's the only place I've bought bottles at £130 or more (several times). Good on them, and I'll no doubt be back.

Highly recommended. We did both the warehouse tasting and the distillery tour. The guides were super knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Add to that the very generous tasting at the end of the tour, and we left very satisfied. This place, along with Laphroaig, is a must visit on Islay.

Great experience and the tour was extremely well explained.

Sehr informative Tour.

Fascinating tour and interesting history of the Distillery. Well worth a visit if you are on the Island. A well stocked shop and samples to try at the end of your tour.

Absolutely one of the best tasting rooms on Islay! Bruichladdich provides complimentary tastes of anything on their wall of spirits under a certain (rather generous) bottle price. With that allowance, the variety of spirits available between Port Charlotte, Bruichladdich, and The Botanist (gin) offered an exceedingly comprehensive overview of Islay spirits. It also really buttered us up to peruse the gift shop! Of particular note is the option to sample from two different casks in the tasting room, both of which were available for purchase straight from the cask into a 500ml bottle.

Wonderful shop and staff with loads of free pots to try their different whiskey. Open a little later than most.

Excellent place to visit - tastings of anything under £200 are free and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a trip. Try the Botanist Gin, it is amazing. The Organic Whisky is also very good!

We came to Bruichladdich for a distillery tour and to visit the shop. Unfortunately, the distillery was undergoing maintenance works and not in production. Although our guide tried to show us the different steps of the Whisky making process, we couldn't actually see anything of it. Instead, our guide focussed mostly on the gin produced by Bruichladdich. We had the impression that our guide was a bit overchallenged. The shop itself is quite nice and also offers limited releases. Overall we expected more of our visit and of a distillery that calls itself "progressive".

Great experience on the warehouse tour here yesterday guide Sarah explained the storage and different casks used to create the subtle tastes, e.g. mouton Roth child wine bourbon and sherry, she had a terrific knowledge and deftly answered questions from whiskey aficionados some three times her age, well done Sarah, of you have time for only one visit on Islay I advise you choose this one.

Nice and fancy design! Amazing whiskies

A very customer-friendly visitor center, the staff is very experienced and adviced their customers very well. Before your final buying decision the staff giving you the possibility to taste a balanced sample of their products, so you can find your preferred whiskey and make a decision with care and calmness, without any hustle. Bruichladdich is famous for the barley taste and the smoky flavor (peated), a visit is highly recommended.

Best Tour so far that we had on Islay. The gave us many free drams at the visitor centre. Currently you can select from two casks to bottle your own single malt whisky.

Visited all 8 distilleries and this was our favourite. Very friendly staff and casual atmosphere. Not just great whiskey but also good gin

Lovely, personal tour including the history, current projects and a trip to the great smelling warehouse. Got to taste any whiskey we liked in the end as well. Great experience!

Friendly staff and good value tasting

Hier bekommt man den Octomore, wenn es besonders rauchig sein soll. Die Distillerie wirkt eher wie ein günstig gelegener Wirtschaftshof. Nicht super gemütlich gelegen, aber dennoch traditionell schön. Eher ein etwas moderner bzw. trendiger Verkaufsraum.

Laddie ist eine bemerkenswerte Destillerie. Familiäre Atmosphäre, sowohl während der Tour als auch im Verkaufsraum. Im Verkaufsraum sind die Fassabfüllungen vor Ort besonders zu empfehlen. Auch ein geeigneter Ort um schöne Fotos zu schießen.

Informative and interesting. Tour guide was helpful. Whisky is very good.

Absolutely fantastic amount of whisky available to taste and their gin is worth trying too. Didn't go on a tour but definately will be on my next visit because of how great the staff were, they even went so far as to call a cab for my friends and I as we were having trouble getting through to anyone.

Warehouse Tour gemacht mit Ashley. Was für eine tolle Erfahrung! Und die probierten Schätze treiben mir immer noch die Tränen in die Augen vor Freude. Immerhin weiß ich jetzt warum Bruichladdich meine Lieblingsdistillerie ist. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Super sympathische Destille mit familiärer Atmosphäre.

Enjoyed the warehouse experience. The best whisky we tasted all weekend - 28yr old a port charlotte and an octomore. Good tour guide.

Port Charlotte is my favorite!

The best by far distillery on Isley! Extremely Generous with tasting! Which contributed to us spending the most there Ashley was a brilliant tour guide and host. Everyone we met were really helpful welcoming and had personality

Coolest and friendliest tour I did on Islay. Thanks!

I like their whisky and I love their gin! The distillery shop is almost a bit too hipster-posy for my taste but I give 5 stars anyway because I think it's great that they've got such an innovative concept. And let's be honest, secretly everyone likes little jars with herbs, organic style and well designed bottles! ☺️

愛想の良いスタッフと悪いスタッフがいます。ツアーの担当は良いスタッフでした。カフェ等無いかわりにツアーに参加せずとも試飲は可能でラインナップも充実しています。

Super visite et super shop ! Vous pouvez y remplir vous même votre bouteille a partir du fût !!!!

Fascinating tour. Guide friendly & knowledgeable. Shop well stocked & whisky-tasting available.

Bon

Range includes most peated whiskey on the earth. They also produce botanical gin made of 22 herbs. In the shop you can also fill a bottle by your hand from the cask. 75 pound per 500 ml bottle.

ツアー、ショップ、ともに充実。 アイラフェス期間中は限定ボトルも売られている。

Sehr empfehlenswert, ich kann zwar nichts zu der Tour durch die Anlage sagen, da diese zu der Zeit in der ich da war geschlossen war, jedoch kann ich die Warehouse-Tour empfehlen, hier gibt es sehr gute Whiskies und Personal was wirklich Ahnung von diesen hat.

Warehouse experience is quite recommendable. Too sad that there are no tours at the moment due to maintenance.

Exellant

Very informative tour about what makes Bruichladdich distillery special. The warehouse experience here is phenomenal and super fun as you watch the tour guide pull the whisky from the barrels and talk you through the once in a lifetime tastes. This was my first warehouse experience

Warehouse tasting is incredible - £25 gets you a taste of 3 superb whiskies that you'll never get hold of in the shops. A must-do.

Went for tasting in the warehouse. With some talk about distillery's history, we tried Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore straight from the cask. After that, we could taste anything they had in stock in visitor center!

Un des meilleurs gin que je connaisse The Botanist 22. Un gamme de beaux whiskies, Tourbes ou pas.

One of the best scotch and some organic. Specific iodized oaky flavour. Book ahead. Remy Cointreau.

Excellent place to visit. Great various of peated whisky.

Book in advance for a tour, we turned up and weren't lucky. The tasting session was decent

Very fun and knowledgeable guide. Open and welcoming atmosphere and allowed to take pictures everywhere. The shop is large and modern with a lot of products.

Durch Jim Mcewan zu einer Vorzeige Distillery gemacht worden, sehenswerte Tour, gut geschultes Fachpersonal. Die Warehouse Tour ist zu empfehlen.

The only Distillery on Islay to be making a statement about 'terroir'. With onsite malting to bottling, everything about them is Islay. They're even putting forth a statement about the effect of the locale of the barley on the Whisky by producing expressions with Bere Barley, Islay Barley and the like. The tour itself is fantastic. And they've hit the right notes with the Botanist gin too!

hier liegt noch unser Fass und darf bis 2019 reifen ;-)

Very nice tour and very well explanation of the distillery facilities. If you want to be brought back into another century when Bruichladdich started to make the excellent whiskey you should make the tour.

Sehr liebenswerte Destillerie mit freundlichem, kompetenten Personal. War was besonderes.

The most entertaining distillery on the planet. A yellow submarine and lively whisky. You're on Islay or you live whisky. Make sure you stop at this gem

Great old style distillery operating with Victorian eta equipment. Fantastic tours as well and you can't enter the visitor's centre without being asked whether you want a dram. Must visit when you're on Islay.

Fantastic personal tour with Carl and Lynton followed by a tasting in the warehouse then at the visitors centre. Serious love, care and attention by the guys at Bruichladdich is being put into what they do with quality of product not quantity being the optimum result. If you go to islay you need to tour here.

Diese Destillery ist in den letzten Jahren einen sensationellen Weg gegangen und hat mir ihren überaus engagierten, innovativen und vor allem freundlichen und unkomplizierten Mitarbeitern einen tollen Job gemacht. Bitte liebe Menschen von Bruichladdich macht weiter so. Ihr ward das Highlight unserer heurigen Islay - Tour. Wir kommen sicher wieder.

Sehr freundliches, engagiertes Personal, die Krönung unseres Islay Urlaubes war das warehouse tasting.

The Bruicchladdich distillery was where the RAF billeted the radar detachment in which I served during World War 2, while our camp.was being constructed. We were quatered in the loft of the distillery. I have fond memories of Islay!

They have a particularly good shop here, and the enthusiasm of the distillery staff is infectious.
