Mark Reynier, MD of the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay, says that the Prime Minister’s right-on green credentials have been reinforced in a truly Churchillian way.
Not only does Mr Cameron ride a bike, he applied for a rooftop wind generator and now he drinks organic whisky. – Bruichladdich Organic, on course.
In a hand written tasting note to Mr Reynier, David Cameron says that the distillery’s new whisky is so good that he has already ordered more, describing the Bruichladdich Organic as ‘wonderful single malt’, ‘remarkable whisky’ and a ‘real treat’.
Mr Reynier says: ‘We know the man has great style, now we know he has great taste too.
‘Mind you, trying to sort out the economic mess he inherited from Labour would be enough to drive any one to drink’.
Bruicladdich’s having quite a year. It’s distilled its first gin, with unique botanicals, in the now famous historic still, Ugly Betty. It’s seen Team Bruichladdich become top flight competitors in the Le Mans series of sports car racing. Now it’s got the No 10 imprimatur.
If Reynier could get the PM to stock the malt and the gin at Chequers (there has to be a pun on chequered flag in there somewere but its Friday ad we;re slowing down) – that would be a coalition with a respect agenda.
Hmmmm . . .
An odd political slant to this story for this website, and an odd line for the distillery to take. I doubt if it will go down well on Islay, and I imagine Alan Reid is a trifle embarrassed by this obsequious guff.
And – did anyone else ever consider Cameron had ‘great style’?? His mannerisms, phrases and shirt sleeves look like a straight copy of T. Blair to me.
It won’t stop me enjoying the whisky if I get a chance to sample it, but I think Mr. Rainier has picked the wrong champion here.

Surly a politician taking free goods is old news?
Bruichladdich’s latest gimmick involving the PM was pricless for Bruichladdich and shows the Tory Party are happy to take goods for reward just like the good-old-days.
Also, how can a harmful drug like whisky that burns so much fossil fuel to produce call itself “organic”?

David Cameron’s favourite joke is (Nick Clegg) how ironic – now. My favourite joke is David Cameron… why, he has a holiday house on the Isle of Jura – he is now our big brother… aaaannnndddd Jura is where the book 1984 was writen……. Hold the phone my new favourite’s joke is David Cameron’s new nickname… 1984!
Tony Blair hit the bottle, 1984 has put in an order for more Bruichladdich, Labours commission wants action on alcohol and its advertising banned, “…the Scotch Whisky Association has deemed its 63.5 per strenght ‘irresponsible’.” Bruichladdich’s ‘perilous whisky’ that is.
It’s been a drink fuelled week of news and it looks if we join the dots drink is a problem and needs to be put back in the bottle to think about what it is doing, and 1984′s fan letter to Bruichladdich smacks of sleaze as 1984 took Bruichladdich’s free whisky and Mark Reynier got 1984′s attention and priceless media advertising of the above product and Tony Blair who gave us 24 hour drinking tells in his new book didn’t know if he was in control or the drink was.
I can imagine 1984 sitting in his holiday house on Jura with a dram of Bruichladdich’s ‘perilous whisky’ pickling his mind and picture of Mark Reynier on the wall, copy of 1984 on the bookshelf writing a list, close this, close that, sack them, cut housing benifit, order more “Holiday houses coming soon” signs AND order more whisky!!!
