The Food & Drink
If you're a fan of the peaty malts of Islay you won't find anything more authentic than this. It's from the innovative team at Bruichladdich - single malt enthusiasts who care more about their craft than the bottom line. This exciting new release is their peated expression of the Islay terroir, crafted from individually made whiskies from Coull, Kynagarry, Island, Rockside, Starchmill and Sunderland farms, all six on Islay. It's named to commemorate the Lochindaal distillery that once operated in Port Charlotte. Lochindaal's whiskies were famed for being heavily peated, which is deliciously echoed in the Port Charlotte range. And they're aged in the distillery's original stone warehouse, where they slowly develop that classic brackish tang.
