The Laddie 10 Launched by Bruichladdich
Bruichladdich 'The Laddie 10'
The Laddie 10 – the first 10-year-old whisky distilled by the men who brought Bruichladdich Distillery back from from oblivion – has gone on sale.
A weekend of celebrations was held for a select group of shareholders, distributors, barley farmers and international guests who gathered on a gale-beaten Islay for a luncheon, a presentation of the provocative new website and an emotionally charged ceremony to acknowledge the first bottles coming off the bottling line.
One thousand bottles of The Laddie 10, sporting a commemorative “I was there!” back label (for this one day only) sold out in three hours to a scrum of enthusiastic islanders and whisky fans.
Sir John Mactaggart Bt., Bruichladdich chairman, revealed in an defiantly upbeat speech, that there were top whisky industry players who warned him that the project was doomed to fail. But they underestimated the “passion and reason” of the Bruichladdich set-up.
He went on to highlight the successes, trials and tribulations of the decade which included being spied on by the CIA looking for WMDs, liberating the Ugly Betty still, fuelling race cars with X4, flying health & safety inspectors, and lost Royal Navy yellow submarines.
The coming of age is a landmark moment for the company that set out in 2001 to renovate the old Victorian distillery that had been closed down in 1994, having only operated part-time for a decade before that.
Managing director Mark Reynier, said: “It’s a very proud and highly emotional moment for all of us.
“This is the first spirit we distilled, once we got it all going again. It’s not been easy. This is the hard-won fruit of 10 years of unrelenting blood, sweat and tears by the whole team.”
The Laddie 10, a dram created by whisky legend Jim McEwan, is designed to show off the timeless Bruichladdich qualities of elegance, balance, purity and fruit, with that famous sea breeze tang.
The company has a reputation for the unconventional, particularly the packaging, and the Laddie 10 in its bright, aqua livery is no different.
Reynier explains: “As progressive Hebridean distillers, we have a different way of doing things to the rest of the industry – it’s why we are still here – and that includes modern packaging.”
“We don’t do flags, crests, illustrations, Highland glens; nor engravings, Celtic typefaces, Gaelic scrolls, or Monarch of the Glen. We do Bruichladdich.”

Benromach successfully shares the secret with Arts Aficionados

Benromach’s first major venture into the arts has proven to be a huge success as its partnership with The National Theatre of Scotland’s production of The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, sold out at two venues in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The show, which opened at the Òran Mór in Glasgow before transferring to the Ghillie Dhu for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011 was seen by over 4,000 people of whom more than half enjoyed a tasting of Benromach expressions.
More than 2,500 people sampled Benromach 10 Years Old, Benromach Organic or Benromach Peat Smoke at the bar after the performance with all attendees receiving a miniature of Benromach Traditional to take away.
A highly original performance created by writer David Greig and Wils Wilson and inspired by the Border Ballads, Robert Burns and the poems of Robert Service, The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart takes theatre into pubs and other unlikely venues where stories are told, re-told, sung and passed on in an evening of supernatural storytelling, music and theatre.
Benromach 10 Year Old
The show won five star reviews and sold out in Edinburgh two days after the festival started. It also won a Herald Angel award and was nominated for Best Ensemble and Best Actress for the Stage Awards for Acting Excellence at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Commenting on the success of the sponsorship, David Urquhart Joint Managing Director of Gordon & MacPhail, owners of the Benromach Distillery in Forres, said:
“The sponsorship between Benromach and The Strange Undoings of Prudencia Hart has been a huge success raising awareness of and helping the brand reach a wider audience, enabling us to grow in an area which we never had much presence in before.
“We are proud to have shared the Benromach secret with art aficionados and festival goers, and I’d like to thank the National Theatre of Scotland for giving us that opportunity.”
Elly Rothnie, Development Director, National Theatre of Scotland had this to say: “2011 is a milestone year for us as we celebrate five years of being Scotland’s National Theatre and the partnership with Benromach has been a wonderful birthday present. “
“The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart went down a storm at the Fringe and our audiences appreciated the chance to sample one of Scotland’s finest malt whisky as part of the experience.”

About Benromach
Located on the outskirts of the ancient market town of Forres, the Benromach Distillery is one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets. From Speyside’s smallest whisky distillery emerged a single malt with distinctive qualities reflecting its exclusive hand-made credentials as well as encapsulating the self-reliance, sophistication and modern values of Scotland today.
Just two experienced distillers create Benromach using the finest Scottish barley and the purest spring water from the nearby Romach Hills. They personally ensure that only the highest quality spirit is filled into sturdy oak casks before being left to mature at Benromach Distillery for many years.
Benromach expressions include:
Benromach Ten Years Old
Benromach Ten Years Old is created from the finest Scottish barley and pure spring water from the nearby Romach hills. After being matured for at least ten years, it emerges golden in colour and displays rich fruit, sweet chocolate and delicate spicy aromas. With a rich sherry influence, the mouth-watering palate coats the senses with exotic fruit flavours, toasted malt and a delicate hint of smoke.
Benromach Traditional
A rich and mellow single malt with fruit and malty tones, balanced with a hint of smoke.
Benromach Peat Smoke
Full bodied, intense and challenging with a smoky character, yet balanced with the fruity elegance of Speyside.
Benromach Origins
A series of special bottlings crafted to highlight how small changes in the art of whisky-making can help to shape the character of the final single malt.

More On Diageo’s Classic Malts Special Releases 2011
This years Brora 32 year old is in a limited edition of only 1,404 bottles
Diageo’s prolific collection of single malt Scotch whiskies, the Classic Malts Selection, is augmented every year by the issue of a small portfolio of limited edition single malts, under the heading of Special Releases.
The series has always aimed to intrigue, delight and sometimes surprise whisky connoisseurs and collectors, by presenting unusual, rare, collectable – but always deeply enjoyable – expressions of single malt whisky, all from original distillery stocks.
Some are affordable, others enjoy a rarity that imposes frankly aspirational prices. Many enjoy striking, specially designed packaging that enhances the pleasure of ownership and sharing.
Familiar distilleries are often present, but in unusual expression or ages. Other bottles are drawn from the precious and dwindling stocks of distilleries that ceased production last century. Most are bottled at natural cask strength and all without chill filtration. There are eight Special Releases this year; five are from closed distilleries; and the whole production is less than 60,000 bottles.
Diageo’s Nick Morgan explains:
“We set out to include one or two really unexpected bottlings in the 2011 Special Releases collection. Very few whisky connoisseurs – possible none at all – will ever have encountered anything like the 20 year old glorious Port Dundas single grain whisky that we are offering this year, and since the distillery closed two years ago, it’ll be a rare experience for those who who get to try it now.
“By contrast, the 25 year old Knockando from first-fill ex-sherry casks might astonish those who thought they know this malt: this bottling is rich, deep-flavoured and very complex. The Glenury Royal at 40 years old is a very venerable (and inevitably expensive) bottling, an old-style after-dinner experience; but it shows no fatigue and is packed with flavour. Lovers of the Lowland style will be charmed by the Rosebank 21 year old.”
Older & Rarer
As in previous years, Brora and Port Ellen will be a focus for committed devotees of these irreplaceable single malts.
The Brora 32 year old is in a limited edition of only 1,404 bottles: compare the first release in this series, in 2002, which ran to 3,000 bottles.
The Port Ellen, also at 32 years old, comes in an edition of 2,988 bottles (compared with 12,000 bottles in 2002!). Rarer and older as the years go by, both are priced at £300.
Here’s a quick summary:-
| 2011 Release | Quick Facts | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Brora 32 Year Old 1978 (54.7% abv) | Diageo’s oldest Brora to date. 1,404 individually-numbered bottles available. | |

Diageo Announces Glenlossie Bioenergy Investment
Diageo, has announced plans to invest £6 million in a new state-of-the-art bioenergy plant at its Glenlossie distillery complex in Speyside.
A planning application has been submitted to Moray Council to build the new plant which will produce energy by burning draff – the spent grain left over from distilling whisky – at the Glenlossie site near Elgin.
Diageo plans to invest £6 million at its Glenlossie distillery in Speyside.
The proposed new plant will build on Diageo’s industry-leading investment in renewable energy at Roseisle distillery, the new £40 million distillery which Diageo opened in Speyside last year, and a new £65 million bioenergy plant at Cameronbridge distillery in Fife.
The Glenlossie bioenergy plant will use around 30,000 tonnes of draff per year, the by-product from around 12 million litres of Scotch whisky production. Diageo has 17 malt whisky distilleries on Speyside, producing over 50 million litres of spirit per year and providing a plentiful supply of draff.
The plant will produce steam which will be used in the operations on site, including Glenlossie and Mannochmore distilleries and the onsite dark grains plant, which makes animal feed. The bioenergy plant will make an important contribution to Diageo’s global environmental targets by reducing annual CO2 emissions by approximately 6,000 tonnes, the equivalent of taking around 1,600 family cars off the road.
Diageo’s Malt Distilling Director, Brian Higgs, said: “With Roseisle distillery we showed what can be achieved in using the natural by-products of our industry to produce green energy.
“Diageo is committed to reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and to reducing our overall impact on the environment. The plan for Glenlossie is another significant step in our journey towards that sustainable future for Scotch whisky production.”
The £6 million investment at Glenlossie comes on top of a capital investment plan which Diageo announced earlier this summer to invest around £20 million in expanding its malt whisky distillation capacity in Speyside over the next two-to-three years. The expansion in distillation will allow Diageo’s Speyside distilleries to produce an extra 10 million litres of alcohol per year.
Diageo is also investing £3.2 million in increasing capacity at the Glen Ord distillery near Inverness and £3.5 million in increasing capacity at its Caol Ila distillery in Islay.
Niall Stuart chief executive of Scottish Renewables, the voice of the renewable energy industry in Scotland, welcomed Diageo’s plan.
He said: “This project reinforces that renewables are becoming part of mainstream business life in Scotland. We have the biggest wind farm in Europe, a world leading wave and tidal sector, cutting edge technology development in offshore wind, and our world famous whisky industry is now increasingly looking to renewable fuel sources to power its operations with Diageo very much leading the way.
“Renewable heat and small scale renewables have the potential to help all sorts of businesses generate new revenue or reduce costs while cutting carbon emissions.”
