Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 Year Old is the first permanent release of Port Charlotte, replacing the multi-vintage Scottish Barley.
As the flagship Port Charlotte, it showcases the smoky, barbecue qualities of this distillery’s spirit.
Peated at 40ppm, and taken from a combination of first-fill American whiskey casks (65%), second-fill American whiskey casks (25%) and second-fill French wine casks (10%), this Port Charlotte 10 year old has been conceived, distilled, matured and bottled on Islay alone.
Nose – The smoke is calmed by the marine, ozone character, time has brought a balance, a harmony in the combination of oak, smoke and spirit. While the smoke is always discernible on the nose it is dry, earthy, peaty in its style. This allows the oak to come forward with waves of golden caramel, fudge, and vanilla custard. Hints of ginger, nutmeg and clove follow. There is citrus fruit, coaxed from the glass with a drop of water, gentle lemon meringue and clementine. Breathe deeply and the floral aromas of wild thyme, heather and sea pink bring you to this Atlantic coast
Palate – On the palate there is a noticeable delicacy and softness in texture and style. Again, the balance of flavour is superb as the smoke wraps loosely around the sweetness drawn from deep within the oak. Coconut, vanilla custard, lemon honey combines with smoked oysters and then sun baked salty sand
Finish – The finish is sublime: smoky, but also boasting the soft sweetness of fudge and malted barley, orange, mango and Banoffee pie hinting of the depth and quality of the oak. The many layers interchange on each sip. As the smoke comes and goes so too the notes of the spirit, ripe apple and apricot. They intertwine beautifully with malt and oak sweetness and that typical Port Charlotte style dry smoke
Character – Ageing for 10 years on the shores of Loch Indaal has had a profound effect on this spirit. Like sunshine on a winter’s day, this Port Charlotte 10 brings clarity and lightens the mood
