Futures The Story Ever wondered what whisky used to taste like a hundred, two hundred, even five hundred years ago? In the nineteenth century all whisky, would have been distilled from organically grown barley. It was the birth of intensive farming during the wars, integral to the survival of these islands, which ended the traditional farming ways known to our forefathers. Whisky must have tasted different back then.

US Customers Following the changes to BAFT laws governing the importation and labelling of alcohol in the US since January 2004 as a counter terrorism procedure, potential and current cask owners need to be aware of the following: Bruichladdich Distillery Company Limited cannot accept cask orders from addresses in the Liquor Control States of Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Montgomery County, Maryland, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia. For BAFT approval and trademark purposes, the Bruichladdich Distillery label and bottle shape are not permissible for private cask owners. A standard cask owner label with a personalised back label will be provided compliant with current BAFT regulations prevailing at that time. Importation of alcohol in to the US Free States is via a three tier importation system (Distributor, Wholesaler and Retailer) with the associated taxes, duties, levies, charges and distribution costs liable prevailing at that time. Bruichladdich Distillery Company Limited is under no obligation to arrange importation into the US but will assist where possible and cannot guarantee that importation into the US will be possible in the future as a result of any further changes to the US importation laws.
