It's available now, the label looks slightly different. A British brewery must have purchased it from Heineken, thank goodness!

Robbie McEwen

Clips of firecracker sprinter Robbie McEwen!

As an overall cyclist Big Tom surely has to be better than McEwen in that he has the ability to win races such as Paris Roubaix, Flanders and even gets on the podium in hilly enough races like Milan San Remo. However as a pure sprinter McEwen(especially in his top form 2 or 3 years ago) is a better sprinter. His acceleration is far greater than Boonen or others but then again you don't see him do much other than stage wins. Also Boonen is 8 years younger than McEwen so he has a big future ahead!

We're discussing sprinting, not climbing abilities. As per lead-outs, that's team tactics: just as Discovery worked hard for Armstrong to finish in yellow, Milram (and F. Bortolo) works hard for Petacchi's stage wins (BTW did not McEwen once benefit from Steegmans' lead-outs?). Also, Petacchi doesn't bully or cut across other riders (see video), then doesn't say he "can't be beat". Lastly, a lead-out makes for a safe sprint. McEwen is awesome, but not "the best ever". Sean Kelly? Cipollini?

Brilliant video! I love how the Prodigy song is synched up with the action once the beat kicks in. It made me sad that, as Robbie said--rightly, I think--that this year's Tour wasn't geared more toward sprints, but here's hoping Lotto support him some more next year instead of Cadel. He may not need a train, but I think for morale's sake alone, it'd help. I'm hoping Mark Cavendish can one day entertain us w/ sprints like Robbie has for so long!

Petacchi and Boonen are great sprinters but I'd take Robbie any day. Doesn't need a lead out train because he's crafty enough to win on his own and his bike handling skills are amazing. Nothing better than seeing him come rocketing out of nowhere in the final 200m to take a win.

Chris Wellsy commented on 11 Apr 2008

I'm tired of people saying boonen is better than Robbie. Robbie is a warrior and is clearly the most dominant sprinter in the sport. All you need to see is stage 1 of last years tour to know what kind of a rider he is.

bennyontherocks commented on 08 May 2007

Geiles Video, Robbie hat echt Dynamit in seinen Beinen. Wie der Typ kurz vor Ziellinie explodiert aii caramba. Erik Zabel, Mario Cippolini, Robbie McEwen...70Km/h auf grader Strecke...no problem.

Eoin Fitzpatrick commented on 06 Dec 2007

Surely there are no pocket rocket haters!!The guy's a legend!He doesnt need a train of 5 riders like the likes of petta or boonen.Stage 1 of the tour 07 proved what a legend he really is!

roostewrum commented on 26 Dec 2012

McEwen, Cipollini, Abdoujaparov, Feire, Hushovdt, Zabel, Cavendish, Greipel - what an epic era of sprinters we have seen. The hardest of the hard men.

ellah1989 commented on 16 May 2007

HE is absolutely my hero in cycling.. 'm wondering who will be my Idol if Robbie stops cycling... I think he'll always be my favourite

cmacblue42 commented on 22 Mar 2008

lol, i cant wait to see how theo bos will stack up against mcewen. (I hear Bos is gonna be on Rabbobank's pro tour team this year??)

gbrhythm commented on 07 Aug 2007

Great work, as always! But you HAVE to add his amazing come-from-behind sprint victory from Stage 1 of the 2007 Tour!

Al McCabe commented on 05 Dec 2011

@MetallicaSindre That is, unless you count McEwen's three green jersey wins in the TDF compared to Hushovd's two...

Lundy3 commented on 08 Jul 2007

Yes , i have heard of him, but dude he cant match Robbie right now.. Even Boonen cant. LOL yes Robbie is the best.

geoffreygonzales commented on 08 Jan 2009

He did swerve but it dosent matter because its after the race. cant be disqualified. unsportsmanlike though

Fred Fiedler commented on 10 Oct 2007

for the last two losers to post a comment, i refer you to the video at 8 seconds - listen hard dudes.

Rory Johnson commented on 13 Jul 2007

Fantastic video!! Amazing editing. I love the way you put it to the music. Mcewen is such a legend!!

crouchingdog commented on 29 Apr 2007

he is an absolute gun. he dominates le tour. good music choice. hows the clip at the end. CLASSIC

Navarro Ribero commented on 24 Jan 2009

uno de los mejores sprinters de la historia kizas solo le falte un maillot de campeon del mundo.

Omar Gonzalez commented on 17 Jan 2007

Nope...he tried to grab a water bottle. Robbie grabbed it back and gave it to another young fan.

delbified commented on 10 Mar 2014

i don't know what that guy was complaining about, i thought robbie held a straight line ;)

jauxed commented on 17 Nov 2012

A nasty sprinter, no lead out or anything. Nice personality over all...the best in my book.

AlfieNoakesOhHo commented on 23 Jul 2008

The best... except for Cavendish, McEwan, Zabel, and Boonen. Maybe he's as good as Fereira.

Bruichladdich - PC7 with Jim McEwan

Master Blender Jim McEwan gives us all the relevant details on history, production and profile of the Bruichladdich PC7 from the still house at the Islay distillery.

Greg Lynn commented on 20 Jul 2012

Absolute true story: I purchased my first bottle of Port Charlotte PC7, it was the last one in the store, and the store threw away the display tin!!! I emailed Bruichladdich if they had an extra tin laying around (I WAS EXPECTING either no answer, or a "screw you!" response). They not only wrote me back, within a week or so, the distillery shipped me a tin and lid! GREATEST customer service story in my LIFE. They have a LIFETIME FAN now. Thanks again!

whiskybitch commented on 06 Jan 2012

it is official. Jim McEwan is a sexy rock and roll man of the malt. And a bit of a mad scientist. I'm enthralled! Please please more Jim McEwan Bruichladdich vids! There are so many expressions of his fine whisky and I'm completely gobsmacked at his passion. Please tell him there is a lady in the USA who is a HUGE fan!!!

Gregory Hampton commented on 15 Oct 2010

Jim does an excellent job, shows his love of scotch...his love of Islay...this is the kind of passion that SingleMaltTV should bring to these videos. Thanks to him I'm going to have to go buy some Bruichladdich now to see how it compares with my favorite Islay whisky todate - Laphroiag 10 yr. Quarter Cask

pelletiert commented on 31 May 2011

Jim McEwan has got to be the most innovative distiller of all time. Always something different always with great passion. What a straight shooter. ...No E150, NON-Chill filtered and 46%. This is the way whisky should be. Thanks Jim, hopefully other distillers catch on and learn from the best.

Kiwifix commented on 25 Feb 2013

I disagree, I think Jim represents only the business side evidenced by the hard sell style.. He looks under pressure and merely doing what he ridiculed in this piece; adding to the corporate destruction of an ancient industry through intense marketing campaigns full of "bs". (his own words)

TheBeebopper commented on 06 Mar 2011

After seeing a couple of dozen industry professionals I must say that Jim McEwan is the first to show respect for the spirit, by watering it gently. It makes a big difference to taste and aroma. Yes, I'd like to see more of Jim.

Bryan Usrey commented on 02 Sep 2014

Jim, you are seriously great, but please stop making these PC malts for airport shops and start selling them normally. The normal whisky lover can't get a hold of these without dropping serious cash at auctions.

Swiss Made commented on 31 Dec 2011

what a wonderful video of Jim, i love this guys passion for the industry. This is my second all time favorite that i am doing a review on this week. Cheers !

pedantic79 commented on 19 Nov 2010

More Jim. He and his whisky are great. Given that Bruichladdich has such a large number of expressions, you have to have him cover them.

SingleMaltTv commented on 07 Jan 2012

@whiskybitch Thanks for your comment and we will definitely pass it on. We intend having more of Jim so stay tuned. Cheers.

Greg Lynn commented on 24 Jul 2012

It's weird he mentions how he used sherry with these... but it is not mentioned on the tin or bottle!! Only says oak...

Hollis Devillo commented on 06 Oct 2010

96.5...is that the 2011 review of pc7 by jim murray. or is he referring to the pc6 which got 96.5; pc7 93.5

He is Half Mick Jagger-i.e. Rock star, and half Ralfy Mitchell, his knowledge of the stuff.

jlim2397 commented on 14 Jan 2012

pc7 - a little expensive but an utter beast. To me, it seems peatier than the octomores.

SingleMaltTv commented on 06 Jan 2012

@whiskybitch Thanks for the comment...and don't worry...we have more in the pipeline.

Englebert Humperdink commented on 25 Feb 2013

"HUGE" is an understatement, trust me. She drinks the Whisky then eats the bottle !!!

Great interview, Angela! Such a treat to hear your stories from the audition process. And it's such a great thing for the film that they remembered you and that you came back for that second call, because your performance was so nuanced and delicate. One of the loveliest turns in a great movie. When Peg watches Woody go by in the truck, there's not a dry eye in the house. Amazing how deeply you were able to touch our hearts in just a few short screen moments. Thanks for sticking with your craft, and for giving so much to your character. This was my first time seeing you, but you can count me a fan. Best wishes for your future projects!
