Commemorate a milestone moment in modern Islay history with Port Charlotte “First Cut” – Fèis Ìle 2007 Valinch, Cask #007. Drawn entirely from a single first-fill bourbon cask and available only to visitors during the 2007 Islay Festival, this limited edition of just 950 individually numbered bottles captures Port Charlotte’s inaugural spirit—robustly heavily-peated yet unmistakably Bruichladdich in its coastal elegance. Hand-filled at cask strength straight from the warehouse valinch, “First Cut” delivers an intimate snapshot of Port Charlotte’s earliest cuts and the rebirth of progressive distillation on Islay.
