Commemorate a milestone moment in modern Islay history with Port Charlotte “First Cut” – Fèis Ìle 2007 Valinch, Cask #007. Drawn entirely from a single first-fill bourbon cask and available only to visitors during the 2007 Islay Festival, this limited edition of just 950 individually numbered bottles captures Port Charlotte’s inaugural spirit—robustly heavily-peated yet unmistakably Bruichladdich in its coastal elegance. Hand-filled at cask strength straight from the warehouse valinch, “First Cut” delivers an intimate snapshot of Port Charlotte’s earliest cuts and the rebirth of progressive distillation on Islay.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • Marks the first festival valinch for Port Charlotte, drawn from single bourbon cask #007—a piece of Islay whisky history

  • Showcases Port Charlotte’s signature 40 ppm peat framed by classic bourbon-cask notes of vanilla, coconut and gentle spice

  • Hand-filled at natural cask strength and unchill-filtered, preserving every nuance of youthful coastal power

  • Strictly limited to 950 bottles, making it a coveted treasure for collectors and peat enthusiasts seeking the earliest cut of Bruichladdich’s smoky lineage

Own a tangible slice of Port Charlotte’s rebirth—an electrifying union of Islay peat, fresh American oak and festival-only exclusivity that still resonates with the excitement of its first pour in 2007.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Vibrant billows of bonfire smoke wrapped in creamy vanilla fudge, with bright flashes of lemon zest, cracked coconut and salty seaweed Palate: An energetic wave of smouldering peat and sweet oak char, balanced by layers of honeyed malt, toasted marshmallow and a nip of white-pepper heat Finish: Long, warming and drying—leaving lingering embers, a gentle briny tang and echoes of charred citrus and soft oak-spice sweetness
