[SOLD-OUT] Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Single Malt

 

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. MOOD
