Rich and smoky with surprising elegance, Port Charlotte 10-Year-Old strikes a rare balance: it delivers the full force of peat without sacrificing finesse, layered with maritime complexity, malt sweetness, and a whisper of citrus that keeps things lively.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
Crafted on Islay by Bruichladdich Distillery, the Port Charlotte line is defined by its heavily peated character—around 40 ppm phenol—with regional barley, local provenance, and transparency.
-
Distilled in Bruichladdich’s tall, narrow-necked stills and matured for 10 years, it is bottled at cask strength around 50% ABV. ■ Matured predominantly in first-fill and second-fill American whiskey casks and some second-fill French wine casks.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Bold and evocative of Islay’s coast—barbecue peat meets vanilla and white sugar sweetness, with lighter citrus top notes. Hints of seaweed, bonfire smoke, caramel fudge, and lemon zest peek through.
Palate: Robust, savory, and multi-faceted: smoky peat interwoven with vanilla, caramel, honey, spices (black pepper, clove), fruit (apple, banana), and earthy nuances. Some batches reveal medicinal and floral hints without bitterness.
Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying—smoke lingers along with sweet toffee, coastal salinity, citrus snap, and subtle wood tannins.
