Heavily peated but with precision. Port Charlotte Scottish Barley doesn’t just bring smoke; it brings structure, elegance, and the unmistakable fingerprint of Bruichladdich’s Islay craftsmanship. This is peat redefined, earthy, maritime, and fiercely modern.

Port Charlotte Scottish Barley Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt 70cl
Brand: Port Charlotte (Bruichladdich) | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
ABV: 50% | Origin: Islay, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Peat smoke rises first, warm, earthy, and clean, followed by lemon zest, barley sugar, sea spray, and subtle vanilla.
Palate: Bold yet beautifully balanced. Campfire ash, cracked pepper, citrus oil, and toasted oak ride over rich malt and mineral edge.
Finish: Long, coastal, and evolving. Notes of salted caramel, soft smoke, and briny malt taper off with poise.

Production Details
Distilled, matured, and bottled on Islay using 100% Scottish barley. Heavily peated to 40ppm and matured in a mix of American oak and ex-wine casks. Bottled at 50% ABV, non-chill filtered, and natural color, delivering the raw, unpolished spirit of Islay with Bruichladdich’s refined philosophy.

Perfect For
The Islay curious and the peat obsessed. Ideal for slow, contemplative sipping or pairing with salty, smoky cuisine. A powerful dram with enough complexity to keep you reaching for another glass.

Expert Notes
Port Charlotte bridges the gap between the elegance of unpeated Bruichladdich and the raw power of Octomore. This release showcases balance, big peat without the burn, and complexity without chaos.

Serving Suggestions
Neat in a tulip glass to capture its coastal complexity. Add a touch of water to open up layers of citrus and sweetness. Pair with oysters, smoked meats, or grilled scallops for an Islay worthy experience.
