Port Charlotte Scottish Barley Heavily Peated 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt (750mL)
Port Charlotte Scottish Barley Heavily Peated 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt (750mL)
For those who enjoy the smell of a good log and peat fire or bonfire, this is for you. It?s bottled at 50% abv and is natural color with no chill-filtering. Of course, Port Charlotte is made in the same distillery but this is the peated version of Bruichladdich with a different name to differentiate the style and well worth a try if you?re not familiar with it. The peat level is a hefty 40ppm which puts it in between Laphroaig and Ardbeg.

Contributing Editor Caroline Dewar's Tasting Notes: Port Charlotte Scottich Barley Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt
Appearance: Pale gold with creamy and silver glints. A field of barley just ripening.
ÿ
Nose: Smoke, peat, earthiness, sea air; a hint of nuttiness and stewed sticky fruit. A touch of caramelisation from oak char, a mildly acrid note; toasted cereal and, if left out a while, slightly sweaty socks! With water ? more creaminess and slight oak vanilla; sea shore and iodine; more oak char, candied peel and toffee / barley sugar.
ÿ
Palate: Smoke, peat, pepper. It actually feels spritzy on the tongue or ?petillant?, as our French wine cousins might say. There are roasted nuts and cereals, some oak char and a waft of oak vanilla.
ÿ
Finish: Long, smoky and toasty, warming, dry. A slight bitter nut aftertaste.

Master Distiller Jim McEwan's Tasting Notes:
ÿ
CHARACTER: MEDIUM WEIGHT WITH A TEXTURE THAT IS SMOOTH, STRONG AND SMOKEY. THIS IS A SPIRIT WITH FIRE IN ITS SOUL AND WARMTH IN ITS HEART.
COLOR: BRONZED MAHOGANY.
NOSE: THE SHERRY & PEAT ARE THE FIRST TO RISE; THEY WARM & SEDUCE THE SENSES INTO AN ISLAY FRAME OF MIND WITH LITTLE SLIPSTREAMS OF LEMON PEEL, BLACK PEPPER, EUCALYPTUS, CINNAMON, HEATHER AND MINT - ALL BEING CARESSED & COOLED BY THE ATLANTIC COASTAL NOTES WHICH MERGE BEAUTI- FULLY WITH THE EARTHY FLORA & FAUNA AROMATICS OF THE PEAT MOORS, HEATHS AND WOODLANDS OF THIS SPECIAL PLACE.
PALATE: SLOWLY THE COMBINATION OF BOTH BOURBON AND SHERRY WOOD ARRIVES IN AN UNHURRIED WAVE OF STICKY DATES, MELLOW OLOROSO, CHOCOLATE ORANGE, SMOKED MALT, ROASTED WALNUTS & DARK TOFFEE. AT THIS POINT THE PALATE SURRENDERS TO SEDUCTION BY THE MOST HANDSOME SPIRIT IT HAS EVER ENCOUNTERED.
FINISH: AS YOU NEAR YOUR JOURNEY?S END, YOU WILL NOTICE THERE IS A SUBTLE CHANGE IN THE FLAVOUR AS THE AMERICAN BOURBON WOOD SUNSETS THE EXPERIENCE WITH A BRILLIANT FLASH OF SPANISH FLAIR - DARK, PASSIONATE, SWEET AND DESIRABLE.
