Port Charlotte is a small town on the west bank of Loch Indaal on whisky island Islay.
Port Charlotte is also the brand name under which the nearby Bruichladdich distillery produces one of its two peated single malt whiskies. Octomore is the other one.
Port Charlotte has established itself this century among the big names in smoky Islay whiskies. It is one of two heavily peated single malt whiskies from the Bruichladdich distillery. And this is the 10-year-old standard PC, the 2020 release. (50%)
This is one of the very first Port Charlotte whiskies, the peated single malt from the Bruichladdich Distillery! Young, at 3 years old, and strong (62.7%), it was released in a private bottling in an edition of only 32 bottles. A piece of whisky history!
More and more distilleries are making single malt whisky from barley from the region. Bruichladdich does this already for years for special bottlings, and now again for this Port Charlotte. The barley for this peated malt comes from home base Islay. (50%)
