That Boutique-y Port Charlotte Single Malt Scotch Whisky 375ml

Description

That Boutique-Y Port Charlotte Single Malt Scotch Whisky 375ml distiller notes:

Here we have another whisky from the excellent Bruichladdich distillery on Islay, but you might note that we’ve spelt their name incorrectly on the label – we’ve written it as “Port Charlotte”. Ah, you see, that is because Bruichladdich use the Port Charlotte name for whisky they’ve produced using heavily peated barley (though not super-extreme-silly levels of peat – that’s their Octomore bottlings). As such, we’ve given centre stage to the 5 molecules that produce the phenolic compounds in peated whisky.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Get a whiff of that roaring open fire, coal tar and prickles of cedar wood and rosemary.

Palate: Initially sweet with hints of cocoa, black cherries and treacle. Then come the herbs, oregano for sure and a cardamom touch.

Finish: A long, smoky finish with lasting flavours of leather and tobacco.
