Description | Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Whisky is made exclusively from heavily peated barley from the Invernesshire region. After the grains are milled and mashed, they are fermented in the distillerys original washbacks, which are made of Douglas Fir. The wood from the washbacks absorbs heat generated during fermentation, and allows for a longer, slower fermentation process as compared to steel, resulting in a more flavorful and rich whisky.
- Nose: Bold peat, orchard fruit, vanilla, honey and malty notes on the nose.
- Palate: The palate echoes the nose, enhanced by notes of iodine, brine and a light oakiness.
- Finish: The finish is lingering and smoky with hints of brine vanilla and oak.
