Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2014 is a heavily peated single malt from one of Islay’s finest distilleries. It utilises barley from the island.
Located within 15 miles of the distillery, each of Bruichladdich’s eight local farming partners undertook the risk of growing in challenging conditions to deliver the barley used for this 2014 vintage.
Bottled at 50% ABV and peated to 40 PPM, the maturation profile consists of 84% in first fill bourbon casks, 8% in second fill Virgin oak and 8% in second fill Bordeaux wine casks.
Enjoy Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2014 neat. It also shines with a splash of water to fully unlock its complex flavour profile.
Producer’s Tasting Notes
Colour: Light amber.
Nose: Malty digestive biscuits and peat embers open on the nose. Following these are sweet vanilla and notes of honey, toffee and Crème Brûlée. As the whisky breathes its fruity character comes to the fore, with lemon rind and peat smoke rising from the glass, moving to grapefruit, ripe melon, peach and crisp red apple. Port Charlotte’s signature maritime note is offset with a touch of wood spice, nutmeg and cinnamon. This showcases the depth and complexity of this single malt.
Palate: An initial citrus tang gives way to sweet ripe fruit and gentle peat smoke. A subtle marine character comes through, with this sandy minerality complemented with toasted oak. On a second sip, the balance of fruit and smoke is unmistakable, with a medley of apricot, peach and then ripe melon delicately wrapped in charred heather and peat embers. The maturation in American bourbon barrels brings lightly toasted oak notes. A hint of coconut, creamy marzipan and then tobacco joins them.
Finish: Soft stoned fruit and toasted oak sweetness leave a beautifully balanced finish, while a subtle, dry barbeque smoke lingers.
