2012 Port Charlotte, Heavily Peated, SC: 01, Islay, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (55.2%)

Description

The 2012 Port Charlotte, Heavily Peated has wonderfully strong aromas of intense barbecue smoke on the nose. The texture is delicious - a touch of water releases a real salinity - and there’s complexity and an intriguing mineral note on the finish. For the first time in the cask exploration series, this release contains 100% Islay grown barley.

About this spirit

Bruichladdich Distillery, Islay

Bruichladdich was built in 1881 by the Harvey Brothers and sits on Islay’s wild, west Atlantic coast. With a chequered past involving several corporate mergers, it was eventually closed in 1994 as it was found to be “surplus to requirements”. Resurrected in 2000 by Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin, and Jim McEwan, it was voted Distillery of the Year three times and became known for its challenging convention.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
