Port Charlotte 9 - from Bruichladdich
The PC 7 scored 90 points. PC 8 was picked as the "Best Whisky in 2009 and now comes the PC 9!
You can taste the rich sweet flavours from the Rioja white wine casks, the cr�me brulee from the bourbon, the biscuity, shortbread flavours of the barley and the zesty lemon peel flavour that is unique to Bruichladdich spirit. These flavours give the spirit complexity and balance so that you are not overpowered in a peat bog.

Gadgets & Gizmos
I attended the Edmonton Gift Show this week and picked up a few new items - some interesting wine racks, both floor models, table models and wall mounts. Also, in addition to the Glencairn glasses for whisky, we are bringing in specially designed "Canadian Whisky Glasses". Whisky Rocks continue to be popular as well. Rechargable cork screws are coming as well. If there's anything you are looking for let me know! I'll try and find it for you. |
