£115.00

Bruichladdich - Link - Royal Birkdale - 15yo
The latest release in the Links series and timed nicely with the British Open that was held there this year. If it goes like the St Andrews then this will be a serious collectors item. It is so new there aren't any tasting notes yet and we've not done it. It hasn't been ACEd so it will be good bruichladdich. A very light Bruichladdich this one, gentle and soft. It won't challenge you but you will enjoy it.

Port Charlotte PC6 from Bruichladdich - 61.6%
Tremendous young Islay whisky, lots of malted barley followed by the peaty tang not normally associated with Bruichladdich and a big hit of alcohol. Not one for the faint hearted but a beauty and an example of very good young (6yrs old) whisky - Jim got this one just right. Limited to 18,000 bottles (so not that limited) but if you collect; buy one to drink too, worthy on both counts. Just won best whisky under 12yo in Whisky Bible.

£60.00

Port Charlotte PC7 from Bruichladdich - 61%
Here comes number 3 in the PC release - PC7. If it is as good as last time it will be great. Another year and slightly weaker but Jim McKewan sees all the hallmarks of an Islay giant and the sea breeze as we'd expect and it is too long to put in here. I'll let you know when I try it, but chances are it is a buy to keep and a buy a few to drink.

£62.00

Rosebank 1991 - Gordon & MacPhail
Citrus, floral and heather on the nose. Light hints of sweetness and citrus follwed by cut grass finishing dray and floral. This is a great distillery sadly lost now but the legacy is fantastic whisky and G&M provide great examples such as this.
