Very nice review. I just finished a bottle of the Heavily Peated Cask Strength version from Signatory recently. A little more amber color and definitely a powerful dram. Other than that, the description seems right on. Not my favorite of the Islays, but not a bad change-up.
Bruichladdich is one of my two or three favorites lines of scotch. I currently have (and have tried) the Links "Turnberry", the Full Strength, the Infinity Cask, the Barolo Finished (part of the Italian collection), and the new Port Charlotte PC6 (not really a Laddie, but made by them). I have...
I, too, had the privilege of sampling a "wee-dram" of this wonderful nectar. I am sure that my sense did not pick up the true subtleties of this scotch, but here are my thoughts none-the-less.
The nose was wonderful, with fruit and honey predominant. The fruit was mostly slightly tart apple...
Sorry, lost internet last night and this morning. Finally have it back this evening. Of course, I did leave the DC at work so cannot post it. It went out at 10:17 am, Monday, February 25th. It ain't going far, so I would expect it tomorrow if it didn't get there today. Shoot me an email...
Working my keester off, that's what I'm doing. :laugh:

The pass arrived today. I have been putting a floor down in my smoking room today, so have not even opened it. I'll take a look over the long weekend and post soon as to puts and takes.
I am most definitely out here. I have been quietly monitoring this. Ready and waiting for it to arrive. Thinking tomorrow or Saturday. I'll post my puts and takes sometime over the weekend/holiday.
How does next weekend sound for the hand-off, Tim. Say on Saturday the 29th? LMK.
'07 PLPC? Overwhelmingly tannic...nigh unsmokeable. Of course, that is just to my palate. I have a very good friend who loves these flavors. For me, give me a PLPC with at least 3 and preferably 5 years of age on it.
This is one of my current favorites :love: . I keep one open and one full bottle in the house at all times. I just love the sweet ginger spicy flavors from this dram. It's cask strength, which just adds another depth to it. I don't know what they charge for it in Austin, but it is around...
