Product description
Inchfad is a peated expression of Loch Lomond single malt, another whisky from the company portfolio, which takes its name from an island on Loch Lomond.
Inchfad (in the Gaelic Innis Fada [Long Island]) is an island in the south-east of Loch Lomond, a home to a ruined distillery. The brand had several official releases in the mid 2000s; it is not currently bottled and is used for the company blends.

Bottled at natural strength of 51.5% and without chill-filtration by The Vintage Malt Whisky Co. as part of The Cooper’s Choice range in January 2021 with an outrun of 306 bottles.
