SCOTLAND WHISKEY ISLAY SINGLE MALT PORT CHARLOTTE 10 YEARS 50% 70CL
Port Charlotte is reinventing its range and its packaging in 2018 to make way for this 10-year-old which replaces the distillery's “Scottish Barley”. Always made from 100% Scottish barley from Inverness County and spring water from Islay, this highly peated single malt (40 ppm) is aged at 65% in first-fill American whiskey barrels, 10% in 2nd fill American whiskey barrels
25% in 2nd fill French wine barrels
The new packaging of the Port Charlotte range in green glass bottles is a nod to the design of peated whiskey bottles produced by other Islay distilleries. However, the distillery insists that its single malt is imagined, distilled, aged and bottled on Islay.

Tasting
Nose : the smoky scent of peat persists, while dry, earthy notes are also discernible. Both peaty and ashy, it then gives way to oak, revealing its delicacy in waves: soft caramel, fudge, vanilla custard, enhanced with a touch of ginger, a pinch of nutmeg and cloves. A drop of water is enough to coax the citrus fruits and the delicious lemon and clementine meringue, which release their fresh notes
Mouth : soft and delicate. The balance of aromas is sublime when the power of peat envelops the sweetness and depth of oak. Coconut, vanilla custard and lemon honey then meet smoked oysters and warm sun-kissed sand.
Finale : the finale is splendid. Smoky, of course, but also sweet thanks to the flavors of caramel and malted barley. The depth of the oak also allows orange, mango and banana-caramel tart to appear. With each sip, the aromas intertwine and reveal their complexity. Notes of apple and ripe apricot follow the coming and going of peat smoke. The sweetness of malt and oak adds to this delicate marriage, skilfully enhanced by the emblematic dry smoke of Port Charlotte.
