Bruichladdich (Port Charlotte) PC5 Evolution 1st Release

The Bruichladdich Port Charlotte PC5 Evolution is a landmark Islay single malt and the very first official Port Charlotte bottling—making it one of the most significant releases in the distillery’s modern history. Distilled in 2001 under the visionary guidance of master distiller Jim McEwan and bottled in 2006, this heavily peated expression represents the rebirth of traditional Islay distillation at Bruichladdich. Limited to just 6,038 individually numbered bottles, the PC5 is now highly collectable and increasingly sought after by Islay enthusiasts and serious whisky collectors. Powerfully smoky, youthful, and brilliantly expressive, it captures the raw spirit and future promise of the Port Charlotte style.
