2010 North Star Bruichladdich (Lochindaal) 10 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

At the time of writing, this is the third only Lochindaal to arrive at Nicks Wine Merchants! Bottled from a refill barrel, it's the result of a relatively rare run which is heavily peated, placing it in between Port Charlotte and Octomore, so it's named for a specific style (and after a now closed Islay distillery). For many, Lochindaal is like young Caol Ila - ever reliable, complex and super tasty. It's also a distillate that doesn't seem to require long ageing to show its best. North Star describe notes of toffee apple, peated grapefruit, dark chocolate and sooty whipped cream followed by a medicinal finish. Very limited stocks from a run of 288 bottles. 53.5% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
