A tense, maritime reading of Islay

Lochindaal refers to the heavily peated distillations produced at the Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay. Long kept secret, this name evokes a more direct and austere facet of the distillery's style, where peat, iodine, and maritime freshness take precedence over any pursuit of smoothness.

This vintage, distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2025 by The Roots, embodies a straightforward approach. Time has allowed the distillate to gain balance without losing its initial tension, resulting in a whisky that is clear, structured, and resolutely rooted in its terroir. True to its philosophy, The Roots prioritizes the purity of the spirit and aromatic precision.
