PC8 is the Spirit of Whisky Fringe

The annual Whisky Fringe tasting, organised by Royal Mile Whiskies, takes place during the Edinburgh Festival and visitors to the festival can vote for their favourite whisky from the 200 or so made available for tasting. This year, a heavily peated 8 year old Islay whisky bottled at 60.5%abv – Bruichladdich PC8 – was voted by the general public as the Spirit of Whisky Fringe 2009, and awarded the trophy. In the last three years, Bruichladdich has won this trophy twice and came second once.
