The release
This is Tri Carragh’s single cask Lochindaal, distilled at Bruichladdich in 2009 and matured for 16 years in a first-fill bourbon barrel. Bottled at 57.8% ABV, the outturn is 215 bottles.

- Single cask, first-fill bourbon maturation, bottled at cask strength.
- Lochindaal is a rare peated Bruichladdich style from a small production window in the late 2000s.
