Single Cask

An independent 9 year old Single Malt from Bruichladdich, released under the Port Charlotte name. This one is heavily peated, distilled in 2011 and independently bottled nearly a decade later by The Character of Islay Whisky Company as part of the Stories of Wind & Wave series. This bottling range is dedicated to the essence of Islay whisky, and does a great job of showing it off in all its glory.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Rich amber-gold with coppery undertones and a burnished, sunlit glow.

Nose

Towering peat smoke, medicinal and coastal, unfurls with sea spray, iodine and ash. Beneath it sits caramelized malt and vanilla, a soft sweetness that lifts sherry-driven hints of dried fig, dark chocolate and leather. A windswept Islay perfume—briny, smoky, and burnished.

Palate

Peat-forward with a fierce Islay bite: iodine, sea spray and coastal smoke ride the palate. Dense, velvety smoke coats toasted barley, unveiling notes of dark cocoa, toffee and a touch of medicinal sweetness. Full-bodied and warming, the finish lingers with charred oak, black pepper and enduring maritime salt.

Finish

Long maritime finish, thick with peat, iodine and sea-salt. The smoke lingers as ash and dark chocolate emerge, with a warming kiss of spice. A resinous, Islay-tinged fade that echoes the coastline, slowly receding but leaving a lasting coastal warmth.

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.
