Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold flashes and a mahogany tint.

Nose

Unabashed peat dominates the nose, with black pepper and treacle toffee, lifted by a briny, clam-shell sea-air that hints at Islay’s coastal heartbeat.

Palate

Full, oily delivery of bold peat with black pepper and treacle-toffee sweetness. Ripe fruit notes mingle with a Bourbon vanilla undercurrent, lending warmth and depth to the mouthfeel. The mid-palate remains fruity and slightly creamy, leading to a long, smoky, warming finish with lingering pepper and maritime hints.

Finish

Long, smoke-drenched finish that wraps the palate in peat warmth. A fleeting sweetness of treacle toffee lingers before coastal smoke fades to a comforting, warming glow.

Port Charlotte
(Port SHAR-lot) Port Charlotte is the name Bruichladdich uses for its heavily peated Islay single malt, produced at Bruichladdich Distillery but named after the nearby silent Port Charlotte distillery, later known as Lochindaal, which first ran in 1829 and closed in 1929. Bruichladdich began distilling Port Charlotte spirit in 2001 after the distillery’s revival, and the first release, PC5, followed in 2006.
