Okay, you can tell me, I'll keep it secret.<br /><br />Okay, regarding the lactic stuff. While the cheesy thing faintly exists in Port Charlotte, the cask strength and big peatin' overtakes it, unlike in Bruichladdich's regular malt. It did fade away entirely further on down the bottle. The farmy notes, which can be found in many peated malts -- especially Ledaig, cask strength Kilchoman, and peated Bunnahabhain -- is something I really dig. But I find that it exists in those malts without anything cheesy sneaking in. So maybe it comes more from the peat type or peating procedure than it does from fermentation or distillation like it does in 'Laddie? It's present in the PC7, but (to me) it's entirely in the nose and absent from the palate. Hope this helps!Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-49478232130722237302015-09-30T17:22:32.333-04:002015-09-30T17:22:32.333-04:00I accept your invitation if only Boreas will bring...I accept your invitation if only Boreas will bring us winter winds.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-25534111809898635102015-09-29T17:19:35.966-04:002015-09-29T17:19:35.966-04:00Excellent review, and fully appreciate the notes t...Excellent review, and fully appreciate the notes through the life of the bottle. I can assume that the notes for the 1st third of the bottle that describe farm/cheese/stinky socks are those dreaded (to me) buytric/lactic notes that I frequently get with Bruichladdich? MAO often makes mention of these as well (see his PC8 review). Since I don't see those descriptors pop again, do they completely dissipate with time? I keep coming across a few of these for $90, and I'm itching to pull the trigger, but slightly hesitate due to those sour notes. Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

I warmly second your feelings about this bottle. Whisky this young and this hyped has no business tasting so good.
