Inside Bruichladdich Distillery with Adam Hannett

About this episode

The episode features a warm conversation with Adam Hannett, head distiller at Bruichladdich Distillery, highlighting the distillery's welcoming atmosphere and passion for whisky.

The sunniest day during Fèis Ìle (the Islay Whisky Festival)?  Always Laddie Day! Why? No idea, but someone up there really seems to like the guys at Bruichladdich – and understandably so!  The people, the hospitality, the whisky, the size of the drams in the warehouse – Bruichladdich Distillery is undeniably one of the most welcoming places on Islay. And their head distiller, Adam Hannett, is no exception. When he welcomed us for our podcast recording it felt like entering someone’s living room to have tea and coffee with the family. We felt like home right away. And it was just great to hear Adam talk about Bruichladdich (and whisky in general) because he talks about these topics with such affection, with such passion and with this special sparkle in the eyes – just wonderful! You have probably realised by now that we really enjoyed recording with Adam Hannett…  … So don’t hesitate and tune in for some Bruichladdich magic (not to say Black Art) and join Adam, Miri and Manu on a deep dive into Bruichladdich Distillery. And if you’re heading over to Islay for this year’s Fèis, this episode might also serve as a perfect preparation. *Disclaimer: Watch out for rising…
