Islay’s Bruichladdich Distillery wins award for innovation and design

In yet another award for one of Argyll’s legendary Islay malt whisky distilleries, Bruichladdich had been awarded the Enterprise 250 Award for Innovation and Design. According to the 2008 Scottish Whisky Industry Review, Bruichladdich is the fastest growing single malt distillery in the world. In Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2009, its PC6 whisky was named as the best new whisky and the best whicky of twelve years and under. As For Argyll reported earlier, its fellow Islay distillery, Ardbeg’s malt, Ardbeg Uigeadail, was named World’s Best Whisky by Jim Murray.

The Enterprise 250 Awards are open to Scottish companies with a turnover from £5 – £15 million. They exist to recognise excellence in leadership, innovation and strategic development.
