Released as part of the Thompson Brothers' early 2025 collection, it is bottled at a natural cask strength of 54.9%. This is a \"purist’s\" peated malt—no wine finishing or heavy oak masking, just the raw interaction between smoky spirit and a well-seasoned refill cask.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNose:\u003c\/b\u003e An immediate hit of medicinal smoke and lemon oil. It’s clean and coastal, with notes of oyster shells, damp wool, and smoked malts.

The peat is \"sooty\" rather than ashy, mingling with salted caramel and charred grapefruit.

It is special because it carries the Rhinns name—a nod to the specific geography of the distillery—and offers a profile that is often more balanced and coastal than the standard Port Charlotte official bottlings. At 13 years old, the peat has begun to integrate into the spirit's fruity core, resulting in a sophisticated, smoky dram that represents the \"hidden\" side of Bruichladdich.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chameleon Whisky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53811482034451,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/9383\/1699\/files\/ThompsonBrothersRhinnsWhiskySample201113YearOld2025Release.jpg?v=1770763881","url":"https:\/\/chameleonwhisky.com\/products\/thompson-brothers-rhinns-whisky-sample-2011-13-year-old-2025-release-30ml-54-9","provider":"Chameleon Whisky","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
