Part of the famed 'PC' series, PC8 was the last in the series that was distilled in 2001, the very first year that Port Charlotte trickled forth from the Bruichladdich stills. It was bottled in 2009 as an eight-year-old. It was matured in American oak barrels and bottled at 60.5% abv. On the nose, an updraft of sea spray and peat smoke greets you with spicy pepper and lemon aromas all exploding simultaneously. Spindrift on canvas sails with a tailwind of heather and myrtle. Then the sweetness of oak and malted barley burst through bringing calm for a while before you are swept onto the next wave. The palate is viscous, rich and oily. Peat fire flavours and the mellow rich taste of sweet, oaky Demerara sugar toddy. Waves of Islay wash over the palate. An original Islay darm, unlike any other.
