Port Charlotte Alchemist Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 5 Year Old · 2001 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany undertones.

Nose

Powerful peat smoke and maritime iodine lead the nose, brightened by sea-salt breeze. Sherry influence emerges as rich dried-fruit notes - prune, fig and raisin - woven with toasted almond, cocoa and a touch of vanilla oak. A faint coastal brine lingers, inviting further exploration.

Palate

Bright peat and maritime brine lead into rich sherry-soaked sweetness—dark cherry and fig emerge beside cocoa and caramel. Orange zest brightness cuts the smoke, while supple oak and a touch of spice frame a lingering, resinous finish.

Finish

Peat smoke lingers, with sea spray and iodine brushing the palate. Sherry-influenced sweetness reveals fig and dried cherry, wrapped in cocoa and toasted almond. The finish broadens into warm oak and spice, a long, smoky glow that fades to a final whisper of ash and velvet.
