Embark on a captivating journey with Port Charlotte PMC:01, the sixth release in Bruichladdich's esteemed Cask Exploration series. Crafted from Scottish Concerto barley peated to 40ppm, this 2013 vintage underwent a meticulous distillation process before finding sanctuary in first-fill bourbon barrels for a maturation period of 4 years.
In a bold move in 2017, the spirit was re-casked into Pomerol wine casks sourced from Bordeaux’s Right Bank, marking the first-ever encounter of Port Charlotte spirit with Pomerol cask influence. The result is a unique single malt Scotch whisky that unfolds with enticing notes of sweet and tart dark berries, complemented by subtle hints of leather. Experience the harmonious marriage of peat, bourbon, and Pomerol cask complexities in this extraordinary expression.
The nose unfolds the quintessential Islay character, featuring salty maritime notes harmoniously intertwined with rich peat smoke, red fruits, delicate rose, honey, aged leather, and a subtle hint of clove. As the palate takes center stage, relish the symphony of flavours, including succulent conference pears, blackberries, stewed plums, creamy vanilla, refreshing melon, and a gentle warmth of ginger, complemented by a touch of marzipan. The grand finale is marked by a lingering encore of smoke and sea, seamlessly merging with the enduring resonance of cooked black fruit.
