Rougher than Talisker and Laphroig? I want some.

Sadly, I'm not seeing it shown among the current offerings at the Bruickladdich site, and even if it was I'm guessing that it would be difficult for a private individual to order it from the USA, given the various unfriendly laws pertaining to the private  shipment and importation of liquor.

However, it seems that the nice folks there are willing and available to answer questions from the public, so you might be pleasantly surprised.

My apologies, I was in error.

Upon more careful checking, I found it listed in the 'futures' area of their online shop:

The Laddie Shop Futures

Bruichladdich X4
The Perilous Whisky (6x700ml)
 Ref: x4
Bruichladdich X4 The Perilous Whisky 2006 Futures
£300.00 Per Case

The world’s most alcoholic single malt ever made has been revived by the ancient tradition of quadruple distilled single malt.
More than 300 years ago the legendary traveller Martin Martin recorded his impressions after encountering a similar whisky on his visit to the Hebrides in 1695.
In his travel book, The Western Islands of Scotland, Martin refers to a quadruple distilled whisky known as usquebaugh-baul - the Gaelic for ‘perilous whisky’ (thanks to Pat Mcgregor for the translation) and wrote what is probably the
world’s oldest whisky tasting note:
" the first taste affects all the members of the body: two spoonfuls of this last liquor is a sufficient dose; and if any man should exceed this, it would presently stop his breath, and endanger his life.

I recommend looking at the "required info" link and the "Offer PDF", as they are both interesting and relevant to anyone interested in acquiring some of this.
