It’s all perception at the end of the day.

I personally bought the Laddie Bourbon 16 yesterday and I can attest it is tasting leather and tobacco in a way that is delicious and faint on the vanilla for a long time. Bottom line: it is worth every penny of it. Same thing for the PC6.

You’ll have a hard time finding something as unique, tasty, complex, audacious and original as both the Bruichladdich Bourbon 16 and the PC series.

Cheers!

adjusting for Reynier & McEwan’s always expansive verbal floral waterfalls + the neverending need to dispose of as much of the remaining inherited less than stellar stock before it’s counterfeited by the maturing masterpieces, i’d think everybody’d be happy for a NON”ACED” expression in th’already way past recordbook ongoing “regular” portfolio. just imagine= if they put even a fraction of the song & dance we’ve all come to know/love into th’new stuff, our blossoming whisky paradise may actually become too good for words^

Sam, I put up the remainder of the press release, which I didn’t include before. Maybe it will help tie up the loose ends.

And what are the “French royal family and revolutionary war connections?” I kind of agree with lawschool…according to the release, this would appear to replicate 97% of all 16 year old scotch.

I’m sorry but this seems to be nothing more than a huge smoke and mirror marketing ploy. Bourbon aged? Geez, what word will they use a fancy synonym description for next?

And for $100? Why doesn’t Laddie go see how many PC6 are still gathering dust at a ridiculously priced $130.

cut the demand and cut the crap.
