Revolutionary when built in 1881, Bruichladdich Distillery remains at the forefront of modern whisky distilling. Today, under the ownership of Rémy Cointreau, Bruichladdich retains its heritage by using 100% Scottish-grown barley, trickle distilled through tall stills before being matured for all its life in warehouses on the shores of the Isle of Islay. Many of the processes require product to be transported between locations throughout the site – a requirement that places tough demands on its material handling equipment.
