Port Charlotte PC7 Sin An Doigh Ileach

Oileanach Furachail is the 8th release in Bruichladdich's Port Charlotte PC series, an annual release of cask strength bottlings that began with the five-year-old PC5 Evolution. Each expression in the series is given a name in the old language, and "oileanach furachail" is in reference to a teacher grooming his apprentice to take on the craft - in this case, Master Distiller Jim McEwen and Adam Hannett, who worked together from 2006 until McEwan's retirement in 2015.
This heavily-peated Islay single malt is only available through select Global Travel Retail outlets. It's bottled at a hefty 58.

Tasting Notes
"No half measures, peat is the main character here. Heavy smoke, motor oil, and lots of marine influences - iodine, oysters, brine and salt. There's also dark fruits coming from the sherry - dates, plums or grapes - taming the peat. On the palate, lots of spices appear such as cloves, white pepper and ginger. A hot sensation envelops everything such as a habanero pepper would. Roasted pears and overcooked oranges sweeten the dram. The finish is long and smoky. A feeling of dry red wine towards the end. A complex yet balanced dram!"
