The distillery was in production from its opening until 1995 when it closed, it was shortly resurrected in 2001 when Murray McDavid purchased the distillery a year before. Since 2000, other variants from the distillery were released, courtesy of Master Distiller Jim McEwan, the medium-peated Port Charlotte inaugural bottling came in 2006 and the heavily-peated Octomore inaugural bottling came in 2008. In 2012 French drinks group Rémy Cointreau bought Bruichladdich. Towards the decade, plans for the distillery to build its maltings were unveiled and barley trials started to test sustainable farming practices. From Bruichladdich, this Port Charlotte single cask is a 9-year-old which was distilled in Islay in 2013 and was matured in oak casks. This is a part of the Cask Exploration Series.
