Single Malt
Introduced as the flagship Port Charlotte expression produced by Bruichladdich in 2018, this 10 year old single malt from the Isle of Islay is a lip-smackingly smoky number indeed. It's peated to 40ppm, and drawn from a combination of first-fill American whiskey casks, second-fill American whiskey casks and second-fill French wine casks.
Salted caramel brownie, flamed orange peel, a hearty whack of seaweed.
Oak-y smoke and salty sea air, paired with sweeter notes of Custard Cream biscuits and white grape.
Ginger snaps, rye toast, drying peat smokiness.
For me: not as peaty as Lagavulin or Laphroaig, but brimful of character and flavour, and incredibly smooth for a 50% malt - a joy and delight in every way.
This has become my first pick for Islay whisky. I love Ardbeg, Laphroaig and Lagavulin, big peat fan in general. This PC10 is simply stunning, and one that I keep coming back to. Amazing rich and full texture. Despite the heavily peated designation it is really very well balanced, and not dominated by peat at all. Fresh smoke, medicinal notes are gentle in my opinion.
I appreciate I’m in the minority here, but I was very disappointed by the Port Charlotte 10. It tastes younger than its age (reminded me of cheap unaged continental fruit brandies), and lacks a sense of balance, like a bad whisky that’s been peated for the sake of it. (For peat’s sake, perhaps.) I really would have liked to have enjoyed this, especially after spending £50 on it, but would probably rank this around the same level as a mediocre Bowmore in my Islay rankings.
Excl 10 yr. still young but not harsh with delightful notes of Carmel and smoke. It feels more sophisticated and rivals established 12 and 14 yr olds. Worth the try.
Monster Islay good taste as good as lagvu ,16 and ardberg if you want peaty this is the one very good cheers
