Bruichladdich Distillery and ButcherBox Join Forces to Create Two "Perfectly Paired" Holiday Feasts

The two box bundles, "Cheers & Chops" and "Scotch & Sear," will feature a selection of meat and seafood, along with a bottle of Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie or Port Charlotte 10 Scotch whisky. Each curated for holiday gifting and entertaining in mind.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2024 Bruichladdich Distillery, the award-winning single malt Scotch whisky distillery based on Islay, is proud to announce an exclusive partnership with ButcherBox, the leading direct-to-consumer meat and seafood brand. Through this partnership, the two B Corp certified brands are uniting to bring their passion for quality, sustainability, and exceptional experiences to surprise and delight consumers over the holidays.

The partnership includes two highly crafted box bundles that feature a pairing of Bruichladdich's premium whiskies, The Classic Laddie or Port Charlotte 10, alongside ButcherBox's high-quality, sustainably sourced proteins. Each box promises to deliver an unforgettable culinary experience, allowing whisky enthusiasts and food connoisseurs alike to indulge in a unique fusion of flavors and textures this holiday season. Each box also includes access to a digital recipe booklet that features a series of inviting recipes that showcase how to create the perfect meat and whisky cocktail pairings for holiday season meals.

The "Cheers & Chops" ($175) includes bacon, top sirloin, premium steak tips, boneless pork chops, gulf shrimp, and The Classic Laddie – an unpeated single malt Scotch whisky made from 100% Scottish barley and matured in a range of casks to create an elegant and complex whisky with a sea-salt tang. Recipe pairings include Pork Schnitzel with a Hebridean Whisky Sour, and Beef Bourguignon with a 'Not Your Classic' Manhattan.

The "Scotch & Sear" ($285-295) includes scallops, bacon, filet mignon, ribeye, sablefish, wild-caught salmon, and lobster tails. Customers have the option to select The Classic Laddie or Port Charlotte 10 – a heavily peated Scotch whisky made from 100% Scottish barley that offers a balanced, heathery style of barbeque smoke. Recipe pairings include Steak Frites with Sauce Diane with a Smoky Rob Roy featuring Port Charlotte 10 and Sablefish with Lentils with an Islay Time Spritz featuring The Classic Laddie.

"As a B Corp certified distillery, we believe in using our business as a force for good, and it's brilliant to partner with a like-minded company who shares our commitment to flavor, quality ingredients and sustainability," says Douglas Taylor, Bruichladdich Distillery CEO. "Working with ButcherBox allows us to bring together the finest meat and seafood with two of our most popular Islay single malt Scotch whiskies, creating an unforgettable dining experience this holiday season."

Aligning with ButcherBox's commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, to curate a selection of high-quality and humanely cultivated meat products, this collaboration reflects Bruichladdich's dedication to responsible production methods and environmental stewardship, by focusing on barley provenance and investment in their community on the island of Islay, Scotland. This dedication has earned B Corp certifications for each brand – which requires a rigorous assessment to ensure a company meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability – historically difficult achievements in both the spirits and meatpacking industries.

The partnership not only celebrates exceptional taste but also a shared vision of promoting a more conscious and responsible food and agriculture system worldwide. 

"Gathering with friends and family around the table for the holidays can be an overwhelming experience, particularly for the hosts, but with our unique Bruichladdich pairing, it doesn't have to be," said Mike Salguero, founder and CEO of ButcherBox. "Being able to find partners that align to our mission of doing good for all is something we truly value and will change the way consumers host gatherings at home this holiday season."

In addition to meal and cocktail recipes, the "Your Holiday Feast, Perfectly Paired" recipe booklet includes educational materials that provide insight into how the two brands selected each meat and mixology pairing, and guidance to help customers elevate their experience with tips and tricks of the trade, such as on how to properly temper and rest proteins and set up their prep stations to craft the perfect cocktail.

Bruichladdich Distillery Reveals New Luxury Redefined Range Featuring First Eighteen- & Thirty-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskies

The high age statement whiskies are taken from landmark moments in the distillery's recent history, charting its renaissance since 2001

The single malts feature an industry-first, fully recyclable bespoke outer wrap that align with the distillery's sustainable commitments

NEW YORK, Feb. 7, 2024  Today, Bruichladdich Distillery has launched The Bruichladdich Eighteen and The Bruichladdich Thirty as part of the new Luxury Redefined range. It is the first of the brand's permanent high age statement whiskies for the Bruichladdich brand. Conceived, distilled, matured, and bottled only on the Hebridean island of Islay, the aged expressions are the liquid embodiment of the distillery's pioneering past and steadfast commitment to the future.

The Bruichladdich Eighteen
The first 18-year-old single malt in the Bruichladdich portfolio, The Bruichladdich Eighteen is a true coming-of-age bottling. When the distillery was reopened in 2001, the Bruichladdich team set course to reconnect land and dram, championing its raw ingredients, introducing the concept of terroir to the whisky world, and supporting the local community.

In pursuit of flavor and to support the agricultural community on Islay, Bruichladdich began working with one farmer in 2004 to raise a crop of locally grown barley. This pioneering trial has expanded to include 20 farming partners today who grow over 50% of the distillery's barley for total production.

"18 years ago, we distilled spirit from locally grown barley and our passion to diversify and champion our growing program has never wavered," said Head Distiller Adam Hannett. "Every element of The Bruichladdich Eighteen – from the specific harvest and barely varietals used, to the exact casks it has matured in – is fully traceable. At Bruichladdich Distillery, we're committed to making delicious whisky with real provenance that benefits the community – and The Bruichladdich Eighteen is the embodiment of this ethos."

Matured exclusively on Islay in primarily ex-Bourbon casks and bottled at 50% ABV, The Bruichladdich Eighteen is the epitome of the brand's signature, unpeated house style. Full-bodied and beautifully fragrant with notes of honey, butterscotch, and citrus orange open on the nose, and a medley of tropical fruits and toasted mellow oak lingering on the palate.

The Bruichladdich Thirty
The Bruichladdich Thirty is the story of the distillery's resurrection. Bruichladdich almost ended in the late 20^th century when the doors to the distillery were forced to close in 1994. Over the next seven years, the two remaining staff safeguarded the casks which continued to mature in the depths of the warehouses, before the distillery was reopened in 2001.

"The Bruichladdich Thirty has been distilled using these legacy – almost lost – casks, capturing a pivotal moment in time for the distillery," explains Adam Hannett. "This 30-year-old single malt not only celebrates the resurrection of our Victorian distillery but pays homage to the men who laid down this spirit three decades ago."

The Bruichladdich Thirty has spent the entirety of its maturation life in handpicked, exceptionally rare ex-Bourbon casks. A limited and refined single malt Scotch whisky, The Bruichladdich Thirty is bottled at 43.2% ABV, bringing the sweetness of toasted oak, honey, and soft vanilla to the fore. Delicate yet complex, a hint of dark chocolate complements the spirit's elegant floral profile while the gentle influence of sea air lingers – a subtle nod to the whisky's all Islay maturation.

Challenging traditional perceptions of modern luxury, the prestige bottlings feature an industry-first bespoke, sustainable outer wrap. Brought to life by James Cropper, a global market leader in advanced materials and paper products, the lightweight outer package is made from fully recyclable paper pulp and perfectly molded to the shape of the Bruichladdich proprietary bottle. The packaging is completely plastic-free and produced using 100% green energy, demonstrating that premium single malt Scotch whisky can be both sustainable and aesthetically beautiful.

Furthermore, aligning with the B Corp distillery's commitment to reduce its packaging and waste, the Luxury Redefined series is housed in the brand's new decanter-style proprietary bottle. The new bottle contains an average of 60% recycled glass content, is lighter in weight, and features an elegant glass closure.

The Bruichladdich Eighteen and Thirty are available at specialty whisky retailers and are priced at $179.99 and $1,999.99 respectively per 750mL bottle.

About Bruichladdich Distillery
Bruichladdich Distillery (pronounced \brook-LAH-dee\) is situated on the Hebridean island of Islay. It distills three unique single malt Scotch whiskies:

• Bruichladdich, unpeated Islay single malt Scotch whisky  
• Port Charlotte, heavily peated Islay single malt Scotch whisky  
• Octomore, the world's most heavily peated Scotch whisky series

Ever since the distillery's reopening in 2001, Bruichladdich has continued to bolster its Islay-centric approach by keeping as many of its operations on the island as possible. The distillery installed an on-site bottling hall in 2003, first grew Islay barley in 2004 (now making up 52% of annual production in 2023) and have since added additional warehousing to ensure all single malts are conceived, distilled, matured and bottled solely on the island.

In 2020, Bruichladdich became the first whisky and gin distillery in Europe to become B Corp certified – putting people and planet in line with profit.  In 2023 the distillery successfully completed the mandatory B Corp recertification process, scoring 100.7 points.
