It is used to turn waste products from the distilling process into bio fuels which in turn are used to generate electricity.

Picture of a view across a distillery yard with a building without a roofA long gone view at Bruichladdich distillery, taken in July 2001 soon after the reopening. This of course has since changed, the building has had a roof again now for many years and I believe currently houses the bottling hall.

Picture of some Bruichladdich casks from 2001An older picture from over 10 years ago, I’m not sure if these casks were already full or were about to be filled. Either way, if someone from Bruichladdich is reading this I hope they can tell us from the cask numbers what was/is in them and if they have been bottled since.
