Port Charlotte
10 ans
Single Malt Whisky
Ecosse - Islay
Port Charlotte is reinventing its range and packaging in 2018 to make way for this 10 year old, which replaces the distillery's 'Scottish Barley'. Still made from 100% Scottish barley from Inverness and spring water from Islay, this highly peated single malt (40 ppm) is aged 65% in first-fill American whiskey casks, 10% in second-fill American whiskey casks and 25% in second-fill French wine casks.
The new packaging of the Port Charlotte range in green glass bottles is a nod to the design of the peated whisky bottles produced by other Islay distilleries. However, the distillery is keen to ensure that its single malt is conceived, distilled, aged and bottled on Islay.
Bottled at the distillery with Islay spring water, not chill filtered and without colouring.
Tasting notes:
Nose: the smoky scent of peat lingers, while dry, earthy notes are also discernible. Both peaty and ashy, it then gives way to oak, revealing its delicacy in waves: soft toffee, fudge, vanilla custard, enhanced by a touch of ginger, a pinch of nutmeg and clove. A drop of water is enough to soften the citrus fruits and the gourmet lemon and clementine meringue, which release their fresh notes
Palate: soft and delicate. The balance of flavours is sublime as the power of peat wraps around the sweetness and depth of oak. Coconut, vanilla custard and lemon honey then meet smoked oysters and warm sun-drenched sand.
Finish: The finish is splendid. Smoky, of course, but also sweet with flavours of caramel and malted barley. The depth of the oak also allows orange, mango and banana-caramel pie to make an appearance. With each sip, the flavours intermingle and reveal their complexity. Notes of apple and ripe apricot follow the back and forth of peat smoke. The sweetness of malt and oak add to this delicate combination, which is enhanced by Port Charlotte's signature dry smoke.
*Phenolic compounds, in parts per million, measure the impact of the oily peat smoke that settles on the germinated barley as it dries. The longer the time, the higher the ppm value.
In Scotland, in the Speyside region, the average phenol level varies between 2 and 3 ppm. On the island of Islay, this level can reach 80 ppm or even 107 ppm as in Octomore 10.1.

Founded in 1881, this Islay distillery faces Bowmore, across Loch Indaal.
In the past, it has produced the least peaty and lightest malts on the island, a characteristic no doubt due to its four stills with particularly high necks. After almost disappearing in 1995, it was taken over by a group of investors who put Jim McEwan (formerly of Bowmore) in charge of the distillation and blends. Since then, it has been a veritable festival of novelties, each more exciting than the next ...
A rare occurrence in Scotland, the Bruichladdich (pronounced “bruk-ladie”) distillery uses an open-air brewing tank. Its onion-shaped stills have a very flat base and a slender body. The Single Malt which bears the name of the distillery is not peated. This one is indeed marked by its marine origins with an iodized nose and a mouth with salty flavors. Prolonged maturation gives it more body, it then becomes greedy and elegant. Bruichladdich also adapts very well to aging in sherry casks.
The distillery produces two particularly peaty versions of whiskey: Port Charlotte and Octomore.
Telling all the experiments of the new Bruichladdich owners would take a long chapter, as the ever-changing minds of Jim McEwan, Master Distiller, and Mark Reynier, owner and founder of Murray McDavid, are challenged.
There was first the distillation of peated malts (Port Charlotte then Octomore, the most phenolic of the distillates ever produced), the triple then the quadruple distillation, not to mention the refining program, for which the "laddies" prefer the term of ACE (Additional Cask Enhancement) to that of finish.
Drawing on their experience in the wine business, the “enfants terribles” at Murray MacDavid are purchasing more and more barrels of wine from the best vineyards and chateaux. In their quest to be different, they have also installed a bottling unit on site, a real challenge that makes it possible to employ the young "Ileachs", the inhabitants of Islay.
Bruichladdich also produces a gin: The Botanist.
Distilled in the famous Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay in Scotland. An aromatic and subtle structure for a charming and delicate gin.
