Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10yo Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt
The Port Charlotte Scottish Barley 10 Year is a single malt from the Isle of Islay. Peated to 40ppm, and drawn from a combination of first-fill American whiskey casks, second-fill American whiskey casks and second-fill French wine casks.
The smoke is calmed by the marine, ozone character, time has brought a balance, a harmony in the combination of oak, smoke and spirit. While the smoke is always discernible on the nose it is dry, earthy, peatash in its style and so allows the oak to come forward with waves of golden caramel, fudge, vanilla custard, hints of ginger, nutmeg and clove. There is citrus fruit, coaxed from the glass with a drop of water, gentle lemon meringue and clementine.
Breathe deeply and the floral aromas of wild thyme, heather and sea pink bring you to this Atlantic coast.
