The terrible earthquake in Chile registered a massive 8.8 on the Richter scale ranking it the fifth worst since 1900.

News has reached us that amongst the widespread, tragic devastation was a whisky bar in Santiago that was totally flattened. Needless to say the total destruction included every single bottle in the collection; every one except the Bruichladdich Fifteen.

The bar, when it is reopened, is to be named after this lucky Laddie.

Bruichladdich - made of sterner stuff.
