As seen on TV! The first quadrupled pot still distillation in 300 years. The new spirit X4 was recreated in 2008 by distilling director Jim McEwan at Islay?s Bruichladdich distillery, before being reduced to a less perilous 50% ABV at bottling.
Limited edition of 6,000 bottles, featured in the BBC2?s “Oz & James Drink to Britain” show powering a Radical sports car.
Bruichladdich Distillery was established in 1881 on the Rhinns peninsular on the island of Islay close by the sandy bays of Loch Indaal. Re-opened in 2001 with much of the original Victorian equipment restored to working order. The first release of Bruichladdich’s new whisky was the highly acclaimed PC5, the first release in the limited Port Charlotte range. Also producing very highly peated Octamore, Organic using Islay grown barley, and triple and quadruple distilled single malts. The Bruichladdich distillery visitor centre offers distillery tours including the bottling hall and the distillery participates in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Whisky Festival.
X4 has loads of flavour, it?s no mere vodka substitute. It?s the original usquebaugh, the spirit of the Vikings that our forefathers knew. They didn?t wait to mature it, nor did we. It?s a little bit of history - so savour the flavour.
