Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2014 Whisky

Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2014 is a heavily peated single malt Scotch whisky from Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay. Distilled in 2014 and aged for seven years, it is made exclusively from barley grown on Islay farms, celebrating the island's agricultural heritage and the provenance of its raw ingredients.

The spirit was matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon, second-fill virgin oak and second-fill wine casks. The nose opens with malty biscuits and peat embers, followed by vanilla, honey and toffee, while the palate brings a citrus tang, ripe apricot and peach, gentle peat smoke and a subtle maritime, mineral note over toasted oak. Bottled at 50% ABV, it retains full flavour and texture, ending with stone fruit, toasted oak sweetness and a dry, lingering smoke.
