Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10

• Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
• Distillery Bottling
• 70cl / 50%

Port Charlotte’s long-awaited 10 year old, rich and smoky whisky made by the independently minded folks at Bruichladdich distillery on Islay. PC, as it’s known to its friends, is heavily peated to 40ppm, putting it up with Islay’s other heavy hitters. The resulting whisky is big and peaty with a maritime tang – the Bruichladdich team would claim that it’s because their warehouses are so close to the sea, we’re still undecided. In the end, the most important thing is the taste: it’s rather good.
