Port Charlotte 10 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Port Charlotte 10 Years Old is a heavily peated Islay single malt Scotch whisky that perfectly balances smoky intensity with rich complexity. Produced by the Bruichladdich Distillery, this whisky is crafted from 100% Scottish barley and aged for a decade in a combination of first-fill American whiskey casks, second-fill American whiskey casks, and second-fill French wine casks. This unique maturation process enhances the whisky’s depth, creating a bold yet approachable expression that showcases both the raw power of Islay peat and the refinement of expert cask selection. The nose greets you with waves of aromatic peat smoke, complemented by notes of vanilla, toasted oak, honey, and citrus zest.  

On the palate, Port Charlotte 10 Years Old delivers a rich and creamy mouthfeel, with flavors of malted barley, caramelized sugar, dark chocolate, and a gentle maritime salinity. The peat is assertive yet balanced, allowing layers of fruit, spice, and oak to shine through. The finish is long and warming, with lingering smoke, subtle sweetness, and a touch of earthiness that captures the essence of Islay. Bottled at 50% ABV without chill filtration, this whisky remains pure and full-bodied, making it an excellent choice for both peat lovers and those looking to explore the world of smoky Scotch. Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or in a thoughtfully crafted cocktail, Port Charlotte 10 Years Old is a true testament to Bruichladdich’s commitment to quality and innovation.
