Port Charlotte PC Collection 5 - 12 70cl x 8
Lot number: 096-08474
Winning bid: £700
This heavily peated whisky from Bruichladdich is generally peated to 40ppm and is distilled in the same tall stills resulting in a spirit that has both power and elegance. Created to commemorate the Lochindaal distillery, originally called Port Charlotte, which closed in 1929, it was the first spirit distilled by the Murray McDavid team in 2001.
PC5
This was the very first PC release, the first step on the “walk of life”, as Jim McEwan put it, for this bold young Ileach.
The beginning of a new dynasty. Heavily peated and unmistakably Islay, this cask strength bottling of 6000 or so bottles was a milestone in the distillery's progress.

PC9
Bruichladdich said: "We considered not releasing a PC9, as there is so little of this precious spirit left, but then we felt an obligation to the many thousands of PC fans who have supported and followed its progress through PC5, PC6, PC7 and PC8 - how could we not allow a lucky few to take this next important step on the journey with us?"
How, indeed?
