One of the things I try to do on all of my Islay visits: Fill a bottle of Port Charlotte Islay single malt whisky valinches. This picture is from my visit in November 2022 after a warehouse tasting, as of writing this the bottle is sitting in my whisky shelf waiting for a good excuse to open it.
Good morning with a picture of me filling a Port Charlotte valinch in November 2022, Isle of Islay islay.org.uk/2023/02/17/fil…

Filling samples at a Bruichladdich warehouse tasting, Isle of IslayIn November 2022 I was able to do something I had long wanted to do, a warehouse tasting at Bruichladdich distillery on the Rhinns of Islay. Among other reasons that I was staying in Port Charlotte, allowing me to walk to and from the distillery along the Loch Indaal coastal path (although for the return leg a kind member of the distillery staff gave me a lift by car, for which I was very grateful). At the end of the tasting we were able to fill our sample bottles with a proper valinch directly from the cask. I’m not sure which cask I was filling from here, most likely a Port Charlotte from a wine cask.
After the tasting we went over to the visitor centre where I also filled a valinch bottle.
