PORT CHARLOTTE PC6 Aged 6 years 61,6%


Nose:
A nose you could rob a bank just to get a sniff at. Aggressive yet sweet peat mingles with fresh oranges. After a couple of minutes, the oranges disappear, leaving the marvellous peat in full control.




Palate:
Smooth and silky orange toffee merges comfortlessly with elegant smoke and uncompromising peat.




Finish:
More of that elegant smoke filling every single crevice at the back of the mouth. Peat so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Comment:
A highly peated whisky from the Bruichladdich distillery. Distilled in 2001. 18 000 bottles made. Not only a sign of the goodies we can expect in the future but also a testimony to the greatness of young-ish Islays. Easily among the top ten whiskies that I´ve tried. Get it before you have to cough up a fortune for it. Love the box!





Rating: 9,5/10
