Bruichladdich Set 1

Reynier took an abandoned distillery and turned it into one that thrives today. That distillery was Bruichladdich, which was nothing more than a shell when Reynier and his team bought it from Whyte & Mackay in 2000.

Bruichladdich is now one of the best known and loved Islay malts and is also a hub of innovation and exploration.

Reynier is certainly not the type to leave things alone, and he embarked on challenging and changing Whisky tradition, as well as creating some of the best malt around.

During Reynier’s time at Bruichladdich the distillery experimented with almost every aspect of distilling and Whiskey creation, and although he left the company in 2014 after it was sold to Remy Cointreau, it still bears much of his influence.
