Bruichladdich Port Charlotte PC6 Cuairt-Beatha 6 year old Whisky

Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Collection PC6. PC6 represents a peatier release from the Bruichladdich distillery, this 6 year old is part of the Port Charlotte series, a limited release of 18,000 and peated to 40ppm.   Nose: opens beautifully, balanced on malt, peat and young spirit. the youth and strength of the spirit infusing the aromas of green apple, mild mint, clove, bayleaf and forest greenwood. given a dash of water and time little notes of meadowsweet, iris and honeysuckle put their head above the parapet but don't linger too long as the next wave of bracken and smoke with a slipstream of vanilla is about to overload the olfactory senses. Palate: absolute rock & roll islay. the heat of 61.6% plus 40ppm peat - and it's still only six years old - together develop into a unique palate experience. if you love peated malt thid kid has the wow factor. it's got an effervescence of spindrift and smoke, sweet citrus - the texture of the spirit is awesome due to trickle distillation. it's the integration of all the characters of this island - particularly the guys who made it - that gives this spirit a 100% islay dna. this is a spirit that challenges, it exhilarates and it delivers - big time. Finish: Albert einstein said: "everything that is great and inspiring is created of individuals who labour in freedom". I believe this spirit meets his vision.
