Bruichladdich Distillery holds a storied history dating back to 1881, situated on the windswept shores of the Isle of Islay. Over the years, the distillery has become synonymous with the production of outstanding single malts, embracing traditional methods while also pushing the boundaries of innovation. With a commitment to producing whisky that reflects the character of Islay, Bruichladdich has earned a reputation as a pioneer in the industry.
To create the Port Charlotte 10 Year Old, the distillers begins by selecting the finest Scottish barley, which is then malted on-site using traditional floor maltings. The malt is then expertly mashed and fermented using pure spring water sourced from Islay’s underground aquifer.
Following fermentation, the whisky is distilled in Bruichladdich’s classic copper pot stills, ensuring the rich and distinctive character is captured at every stage of production. Maturation takes place in a combination of first-fill American whiskey casks, second-fill French wine casks, and further aging in hand-selected oak barrels.
Tasting Note
The Port Charlotte 10 Year Old boasts a deep, coppery hue, indicative of its full-bodied and robust nature.
On the nose, waves of peat smoke envelop the senses, complemented by notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and ripe fruits.
The palate is a symphony of flavours, with an initial burst of smoky peat, followed by layers of dark chocolate, roasted almonds, and dried fruits.
The long, warming finish leaves a lingering impression of smouldering embers, oak spices, and a touch of sea salt.
