Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2011
Well-peated Port Charlotte single malt from Bruichladdich, made exclusively with barley grown on the isle of Islay. Of course, when you're dealing with Bruichladdich, it gets a little more in-depth than that. The two varieties of barley used (Oxbridge and Publican barley) were grown by three Islay farms - Dunlossit, Kilchiaran and Sunderland. The whisky was distilled in 2011 and allowed to mature in 75% first-fill American whisky casks and 25% second-fill red wine casks (Syrah and Figero wine) for 6 years, and has been peated to 40PPM. As we said, Bruichladdich loves to be in-depth, and we love them for that.
