Bourbon
This is the first Port Charlotte single malt Scotch whisky which we've bottled as part of our Single Cask Series! It was distilled in April 2009, allowed to age in a first fill bourbon hogshead for 6 years and bottled in June 2015. A tasty Islay whisky with plenty of peaty notes at its core.
Fresh rye bread with an olive oil, sea salt and black pepper glaze, butter beans, tomato stem, stony beaches and a little bit of soot.
Rather orange-y on the palate, with a touch of chocolate malt supporting the subtle sweetness. Peat is light and coastal, though grows in intensity. Quite meaty, too.
Rounded toasty barrel char with a slight vegetal hint persist. A final note of iced buns too.
A complex though inviting Port Charlotte single malt we've got here.
An incredibly 'green' whisky - which would do it a huge disservice were it not for the massive backbone of peat propping the whole thing up. Incredibly mezcal-esque in its delivery. Delicious.
