Complete Port Charlotte PC5 to PC12 8 Bottle Collection
Port Charlotte is the notoriously peaty branch of Bruichladdich and it was created to commemorate the original spirit produced at Port Charlotte from 1881 until 1929. This collection features all 8 PC releases, from PC5 which was bottled in 2006 until PC12 in 2014.
This inaugural series was created to demonstrate the effect of time on whisky. The original PC5 was a five year old spirit, the first distilled for Port Charlotte. Each subsequent until PC9 release came from the same vintage stock as that original PC5 whisky except now, with every release, that whisky became a year older and much scarcer. The intention behind releasing PC 5-9 was for each release to be compared to the next, to fully appreciate how aging had changed the whisky. By the time PC9 was released there was very little of that original stock left as each release had been bottled at cask strength. The PC10 release saw the series increased to full-scale bottling with the 10 year old whisky that had now 'come of age'.

We know of Bruichladdich these days for being quite ‘punk rock’ in their attitudes towards peating, casks, and general experimentation. As is always the case, this wasn’t the distillery’s MO for its entire life. From being founded in 1881, traded between individuals and small conglomerates, being closed on three separate occasions, and releasing twenty-eight limited edition bottles in its early rebirth, Bruichladdich has certainly been through the mill.
Something which remained true throughout most of Bruichladdich’s history was the low peating or sometimes lack of peating across their bottled stock. Through expressions such as Octomore, Port Charlotte, Lochindaal Bruichladdich have released more classic Islay expressions. Octomore includes the most heavily peated whiskies in the world.
