THE POWER OF PEAT WITH THE ELEGANCE, COMPLEXITY AND FLORAL TOPNOTES FOR WHICH OUR BRUICHLADICH STILLS ARE FAMOUS. COULD IT WORK?
PORT CHARLOTTE SINGLE MALTS, PEATED TO A HEAVYWEIGHT 40PPM, REPRESENT OUR ONGOING EXPLORATION INTO THE PEAT FIRED LEGACY OF A GREAT DISTILLERY, NOW SILENT
Peated to a heavyweight 40ppm, Port Charlotte Scottish Barley is a cuvee crafted from casks hand-picked by master distiller Jim McEwan. It showcases the supreme elegance of this remarkable single malt - a union of the classic floral elegance of Bruichladdich and heavy peat.
This whisky is testament to our belief that raw ingredients matter. Trickle distilled from 100% Scottish Barley the spirit gently matures in the lochside village of Port Charlotte before being bottled here at the distillery using Islay spring water.
CHARACTER
THE TEXTURE IS EXTRAORDINARILY RICH WITH A HUGE
DEPTH OF CHARACTER. THE SMOULDERING HEAT OF PEAT
FIRES PULLS YOU INTO A WHIRLPOOL OF ISLAY FLAVOURS
AND AROMAS BUT WITH SUCH FINESSE THAT YOU
WELCOME THE STORM.
COLOUR GILDED LILY.
NOSE OPENING WITH ASSERTIVE
WAVES OF PEAT SMOKE
AND ATLANTIC SQUALL,
THE OLFACTORY SYSTEM
IS ON HIGH ALERT IN
ANTICIPATION OF SOME
MAJOR SENSORY EXCITEMENT.
A SWELL OF
AROMATICS FLOOD THE
SENSES WITH NOTES OF
IODINE, SALTY CANVAS,
CRUSHED SEA SHELLS,
CHARRED OAK STAVES,
BLACK PEPPER, PAPRIKA
AND LEATHER TOBACCO
POUCHES. THE SECOND
WAVE BRINGS VANILLA,
FIGS AND SOFT PLUMP
DATES, MARINATED PEAR,
FRESHLY MILLED MALT,
DARK SWEET TOFFEE AND
CRACKED WALNUTS. IT'S
SMOKY. IT'S SMOULDERING.
IT'S SENSUOUS. JUST CLOSE
YOUR EYES AND INHALE
LONG AND DEEP. THIS IS
AROMATIC AWESOMENESS.
PALATE
WAVES OF THE SWEETEST,
SMOOTHEST, WARMEST
SMOKIEST SPIRIT THAT YOU
HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED
FLOOD ONTO THE PALATE
LIKE THE ATLANTIC SURF
ON SALIGO BAY. IT IS
POTENT, FOCUSED AND
THE FLAVOURS EXPLODE
BRILLIANTLY ONTO THE
PALATE. FULL OF DEPTH
AND COMPLEXITY, THE
SMOKEY SWEETNESS OF
THE BARLEY CONTRASTS
BEAUTIFULLY WITH THE
MARINE FRESHNESS OF
THE SPIRIT AND THE RICHNESS
OF TOFFEE AND
VANILLA. THE COMPLEXITY
IS ENHANCED FURTHER
WITH A CITRUS TWIST AND
THEN MELLOW OAK
TEMPERS THE FIRE. ONCE
ADJUSTED, THE TASTE BUDS
REJOICE IN THE COMPANY
AND PLEASURE OF THIS
YOUNG CELT.
FINISH
IT'S LONG AND HEARTWARMING,
AROUSING
FEELINGS OF PRIDE AND
PASSION. IT BRINGS
COURAGE AND STRENGTH,
HONESTY AND FAITH TO
YOUR VERY SOUL.
