Bruichladdich's standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, however from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production. This is one such cask.

Tasting Notes:

This is a first fill Bourbon barrel of the rarely seen heavily peated malt Lochindaal from Bruichladdich distillery. It immediately makes itself known, throwing a myriad of aromas out of the glass: peat smoke, vanilla pods, camphor, cloves, damp wool and fireworks all come to mind. The palate is equally powerfull with waves of fruit, spice and peat smoke all fighting for prominence. Flavours of bonfire ash, paraffin, lime juice and gingerbread all pop out. It's as subtle as a sledgehammer and yet as complex as Chaucher.
