Port Charlotte The Peat Project

This is good to know. I already knew the Port Charlotte series was fairly young whisky. The PC8 costs $115 in Oregon. I guess I won't be buying it any time soon.

@rantavahti...the PC Peat Project is essentially replacing the PC 'An Turas Mor', one of my favourite 'true peat' bottles. Have you had a chance to try the 'ATM'? If so, how did you find they compare to one another?

@rigmorole...the PC 'ATM' (and the Peat Project, I believe) are both significantly cheaper in price to the rest of the PC line. I have really enjoyed the 'ATM' and hope to buy another bottle of it at some point before it disappears for good.

Thanks, Pudge. ATM's not available in Oregon unfortunately. PP is down in Salem, too far to drive. What do you think of the "classic?" I saw that a month ago in a store here in town, even though it's not listed online.

Drinkhacker.com gave it an A-, which is pretty high for him. He called it a good every day dram. Seems a cut above that in my estimation. Not sure if it's worth buying though. It's probably up over a hundred bucks is my guess. The PC's seem to have gone up quite a bit in the past year or so.

I'm sipping on Ardbeg Ugies and Peat Monsters tonight while I watch a few episodes of House of Cards on Netflix.

Oh, I sold a screenplay about "faeries," kind of cross between the Secret of Roan Inish and Willow. I was commissioned to write it.

However, the film was never made. It would have been an independent film if it had been done, not a big studio production. So nothing to write home about, so to speak. It merely paid my rent for part of the year is all. And now I own a house, so that was quite a while ago. . . .

Supernatural faeries are not a subject I would normally pick to write about, although my latest novel is about sasquatch, so go figure.

Whoops, that last comment was meant to be posted elsewhere. My bad.

@rigmorole, if you're referring to the Bruichladdich Classic, I have not had it. It would be a different beast from the Port Charlotte bottles as the PC line is for Bruichladdich's peated whiskies (similar set up to Longrow & Hazelburn producing different product at Springbank, if I understand the general set up at Bruichladdich and Springbank).

The PC bottles (excluding ATM & TPP) are likely going up as they have developed a bit of a cult status in terms of becoming quasi-collectible.
