Port Charlotte PC8 (Signed by Jim McEwan)

Port Charlotte PC8 Ar Dùthchas – Signed by Jim McEwan

An early release from the original Port Charlotte PC series, PC8 Ar Dùthchas represents Bruichladdich’s heavily peated Islay style during the distillery’s revival era.

This example is personally signed by Master Distiller Jim McEwan, adding significant collector appeal and historical importance.

The PC series (PC5–PC12) has become increasingly sought after, marking the early development of Port Charlotte’s peated identity.

Why you’ll love it

PC8 delivers bold Islay peat balanced with Bruichladdich’s trademark precision.

Expect dense smoke, coastal salinity and earthy peat layered with vanilla sweetness, citrus brightness and warming spice. Compared to later Port Charlotte releases, the early PC series often shows a slightly rawer, more expressive character.

With Jim McEwan’s signature, this bottle becomes more than just a dram — it’s a piece of modern Islay whisky history.
