Bruichladdich 15 Year Old Centenary Decanter is a single malt Scotch whisky from Islay, Scotland. Released in 1981 to mark a century of production, this liquid comes from an era where the distillery favoured a soft, unpeated Highland style. The distillation utilised tall, narrow-necked stills to produce a spirit with a floral lift. On the nose, it offers heather honey and dried apricot. The palate is light with a touch of sea salt, while the finish is clean and elegant. This bottling serves as a historical record of the house style before the industry changes of the 1980s. It avoids the heavy medicinal smoke of its Islay neighbours, focusing instead on the purity of the malt and the coastal air.

Built in 1881, Bruichladdich passed from owner to owner over the next 80 years, eventually closing their on-site maltings in the early 1960s. Demand for this distinctly fruity Islay malt was so great during the 1970s that additional stills were added to allow for an increase in capacity. Whyte and Mackay acquired Bruichladdich in 1993, but shut down production in the mid-1990s, with Murray McDavid taking over operations in the year 2000. The 15 years thereafter saw a golden era for the distillery as many superb older whiskies were assessed by the new owners and bottled as superb limited edition single casks. The core range was reimagined and two new labels were added that allowed for more heavily peated expressions - Octomore and Port Charlotte.

Bruichladdich run two wash stills and two spirit stills, producing around 1.5 millions litres a year and a number of local Lochs provide the water required for the mash, cooling and bottling. Notably, Bruichladdich maintain and use an array of vintage equipment, including a large wooden mash tun and an adjustment Lomond still, which is used in the production of the distillery's Botanist gin.
