Islay 14 years (Port Charlotte)

Port Charlotte Distillery was a purpose-built distillery which survived in the 20th century and was formerly known as the Lochindaal distillery. The distillery can be found in the heart of the beautiful Port Charlotte village and was constructed for its first licensee, Colin Campbell, in 1829. After a number of different owners the distillery was closed in 1929. At 2 March 2007 Bruichladdich issued a press release with the news of the "Phoenix Distillery" being reopened. A quote from the Ileach Newspaper: Bruichladdich Distillery has officially announced its plans to create a new distillery at Port Charlotte. The distillery will be built, subject to planning permission, on the site of the Lochindaal Distillery that ceased production in 1929. It will be known as the Port Charlotte Distillery, the original name of the 1829 enterprise. The brand was partially revived during 2009–14, although the distillery as such remained closed. Whisky distilled at nearby Bruichladdich is matured in oak casks at Port Charlotte.
