Port Charlotte SYC:01 Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old
In stock
The Port Charlotte Cask exploration series was created in pursuit of extraordinary flavour and to showcase the complexity and versatility of Port Charlotte Single Malt.
The Syrah casks for the SYC:01 expression have been sourced from a French winery in the norther Rhone that specialises in the creation of organic and biodynamic wines; sharing Port Charlotte’s commitment to terroir and authenticity. Initially filled in first (75%) and second fill (25%) bourbon barrels in 2013 before being re-casked into first fill Syrah wine casks in 2018. After 4 years, wine influence at its peak the spirit was re-casked into refill bourbon to allow the whisky to marry before bottling.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with copper-bronze highlights and a ruby-tinged edge.
Nose
Bold peat and maritime iodine rise first, echoed by a lush layer of dark fruit from the Syrah finish. Smoke drifts with blackberry, plum and a touch of violet, while warm vanilla and cocoa nibs thread through. A spice pepperiness and a whisper of leather complete a sumptuous, wine-kissed Islay aroma.
Palate
Explosive peat smoke frames the palate, a maritime edge of iodine and salt. Syrah-wine influence floods dark fruit: blackberry, plum, black cherry, with peppery spice and warm vanilla from the oak. Full-bodied and velvety, it layers cocoa, leather and a touch of ash, finishing long, warming, and lightly saline.
Finish
An enduring, peat-smoked finish with a sea-salt tang, unveiling dark cherry and plum from the Syrah cask influence. Black pepper and cocoa thread through the tail, while delicate oak and mineral notes linger, carried on a warming, coastal breeze that slowly fades to a resinous, lingering sweetness.
