Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL 46% ABV
The 10 year old Port Charlotte is the first of the Port Charlotte bottlings to join Bruichladdich's core range. It is a rich, smouldering dram distilled from malt peated to 40ppm. It started as PC5 with a yearly follow-up. This year’s has reached 10 years of age. Head distiller, Jim McEwan reflects, “Extraordinary to think of the great pride we felt when bottling PC5 back in 2006. In our heart of hearts, none of us knew whether we’d still be around to celebrate PC10, this fantastic spirit’s coming of age. It’s been a long and rocky road but PC10 is here and so are we. This new Islay single malt has reached it’s first milestone."Tasting Notes & Awards
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. Colour: Bronzed mahogany. Nose: The sherry and peat are the first to rise; they warm and 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 and cooled by the Atlantic coastal notes which merge beautifully with the earthy flora and 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 and 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. Mood: Meandering winter walk.Price / Unit | Bottle |
