Port Charlotte Darkness - Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old

Colour

Deep, dark amber with mahogany depth and coppery highlights—a rich, sherry-toned bronze that glows with warmth.

Nose

Bold peat smoke mingles with velvety Pedro Ximénez, releasing dark dried fruit - raisin, fig, date - with a kiss of orange zest. Rich treacle and syrupy sweetness layer over spiced notes of cinnamon and clove. Maritime brine and iodine lend a saline edge, while subtle oak and cocoa deepen the bouquet.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, the palate opens with thick peat and sea-brine, then folds into rich Pedro Ximénez sweetness—fig, raisin, date with treacle. A thread of cocoa and spice, including cinnamon, clove and black pepper, weaves through. Velvety, slightly oily mouthfeel; the finish is long, smoky and sherried, with warm maritime notes lingering and a final kiss of sweetness.

Finish

Long, peaty finish infused with velvety Pedro Ximénez sweetness. Dried fig and raisin mingle with brown sugar, cinnamon and clove, while maritime salt and smoke linger, fading into a warm, sherry-kissed glow.
