New Bottlings 2006

There are three entirely new bottlings this autumn and four updated releases of existing cuvees. For the first time Jim has recorded his opinions of these creations which are now available as a short Pod Cast – as well as a full tasting note as usual.

New Bottlings include a quite simply extraordinary 125 Anniversary bottling of the 1970 vintage. The 1970 we know is an outrageous dram; well Jim has just made it even more so. A whisky suitable to mark this auspicious occasion. Listen to Jim McEwan’s Podcast here. For more information click here. For a tasting note please click here.

PC5 is the first limited release bottling of the Port Charlotte – our first ever bottling of the whisky we distilled at the opening of the distillery back in 2001 – of which we are inordinately proud. It is an entirely new type of Islay Whisky: Bruichladdich elegance and Islay peat…
