The whisky that left Jim Murray speechless (literally). On the market around ten years ago, PC6 'Cuairt-Beatha' (which translates to "The Walk Of Life") was aged for six years in x Bourbon barrels before bottling at 61.6% ABV. Also non chill filtered. Some minor blemishes to the base of the tin, otherwise very good condition. One only to sell.
Other reviews... ooooooohhh......aaaaaaaarrgh......mmmmmmmm.......oh the peat, the peat...
96.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2011 Notes from Bruichladdich... 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. The Madeira cask influence lies deep in the glass and brings the rich notes of syrupy dates and raisins which hold up well to the onslaught. Palate – Absolute rock ‘n’ 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.
