What Makes Bruichladdich Bruichladdich? A Conversation With Adam Hannett, Master Blender.
Less than a minute
Introduction by: Peter Marshall
For many drinkers, Bruichladdich is where Islay’s peat obsession meets an almost stubborn commitment to elegance, barley and place. Under Adam Hannett, the distillery has turned “Progressive Hebridean Distilling” from a slogan to a liquid philosophy – from unpeated Bruichladdich to its most intensely peated experiments.
In this one-to-one location interview on Islay, I asked Adam what really defines Bruichladdich’s DNA in the glass, just how far he can push peat without losing the house character, and why craft still matters more than marketing. It is a remarkable interview for both its content and atmosphere.
