One summer, a man on a cycling tour of Islay happened to pass by the shores of Loch Indaal. He noticed the weathered stone buildings of Bruichladdich standing quietly by the sea. Curious, he stopped, dismounted, and walked up to the iron gates — then, for reasons even he couldn’t explain, began knocking loudly.

Inside, an old worker named Benjin, who had been maintaining the site for 36 years, heard the noise and came to open the heavy black gates. In that moment, the gears of destiny began to turn again - it was the summer of 1994.

在某年的夏天，一名男子騎著自行車，在艾雷島上進行著騎行之旅，而當他經過 Loch Indaal 的海岸邊上，被岸邊上的 Bruichladdich 蒸餾廠建築物吸引，他慢慢的停下了自行車，在好奇心的驅駛下走到正對海岸的鐵閘前，也不知道是什麼原因，他開始大力的拍打鐵閘，而廠內一名在此已經工作了 36 年，正在維護設備的老員工 Benjin 聽到了動靜，並來到了大門前，打開了那雙當時還時黑色的老舊鐵閘，蒸餾廠的命運齒輪又再次開始轉動，而這時是 1994 年的夏天。
