Port Charlotte 10 Year Old

Port Charlotte is Bruichladdich’s heavily peated line, made with barley smoked to around 40 parts per million of phenols, according to the brand. The ten-year-old is bottled at 50% without chill filtration and without colouring, and combines intense bonfire smoke with fruit, vanilla and an oily texture. It is a powerful but very balanced Islay, ideal for those after peat with plenty of fruit and good texture.
