Lochindaal is a historic distillery name from the island of Islay, Scotland, tied to the village of Port Charlotte on the southwestern shores of Loch Indaal. The original Lochindaal Distillery operated from approximately 1829 to 1929, making it one of the longest-running distilleries in Islay's rich whisky history. When Alfred Barnard visited Islay in 1885–86, he noted it had become one of the largest distilleries on the island, a testament to its prominence during the Victorian era. The distillery was known for producing a heavily peated malt, and the Lochindaal name has since been revived as a whisky expression by Bruichladdich Distillery, located nearby on the same loch. Bruichladdich produces Lochindaal as a heavily peated single malt at 80ppm, placing it between their Port Charlotte range (40ppm) and the legendary Octomore (the peatiest whisky in the world). This expression pays direct homage to the original distillery that once defined Port Charlotte's whisky identity. The Lochindaal name stands as a bridge between Islay's storied past and its modern craft whisky renaissance. Though plans to rebuild a dedicated Port Charlotte distillery on the original Lochindaal site were ultimately abandoned after Bruichladdich's acquisition, the spirit and character of this historic location live on through the whisky that bears its name.
