Bruichladdich Whisky of Mass Distinction II: An Islay Legend with a Story

Bruichladdich's Whisky of Mass Distinction II (WMD II) is a 14-year-old Islay single malt with a backstory unlike any other. This release commemorates a striking yellow submarine discovered off Bruichladdich's coast in 2005 by local fisherman John Baker. The iconic yellow submarine now adorns the bottle's label, making this whisky as memorable for its narrative as for its contents.

Production and Character

When the yellow submarine surfaced near the distillery, the team recognized an opportunity to craft something truly distinctive. The result is a whisky that captures both the spirit of Islay and the whimsy of an unforgettable island moment.
