Description

This heavily peated whisky from Bruichladdich is generally peated to 40ppm and is distilled in the same tall stills resulting in a spirit that has both power and elegance. Created to commemorate the Lochindaal distillery, originally called Port Charlotte, which closed in 1929, it was the first spirit distilled by the Murray McDavid team in 2001. A festival bottling and political statement rolled into one, this Port Charlotte Transparency Feis Ile 2017 release is a marriage of 12 casks, crafted from 100% Scottish barley and fully matured on Islay. Only 1000 bottles were produced, each with a unique code for online recipe lookup, reflecting Bruichladdich's commitment to transparency. It was bottled at 56.4% ABV.
