He won a bottle of thirty year old Bruichladdich when he was about 22 when he first discovered the elegance of this malt, which he could compare to some of the great wines he tastes. He tried once to visit it, but unfortunately was turned away by the guard. This just drove his motivation So he decided to try and buy the distillery.. He began to write to the owners suggesting the purchase of the plant, but was politely refused. This process was repeaty annually for 10 years

Wait! On the same day, I was sipping a glass of wine on the roof, at my place in London. It was the beginning of the evening. The telephone rang and it was John Milroy. He told me I had won the £1000 bottle, and I had to come to his shop, in Soho, to get it. It was a Springbank 40 year old. I had a wonderful time talking with John - I know almost nothing about whisky, being a wine man. He helped me discover two excellent malts: Springbank and Bruichladdich. That was my first contact with Bruichladdich, and it was love at first sight!
