Description

An ultra-limited-edition release and the final step on this fascinating journey before Port Charlotte came of age with the next year's full-release 10 year old. Bruichladdich considered not releasing a PC9 due to low stock but felt an obligation to fans. Its Gaelic name is 'An Ataireachd Ard', meaning 'The Surge of the Sea'. This whisky was created by Master Distiller Jim McEwan.
