Tasting Notes
Nose
The smoke is calmed by the marine, ozone character. Time has brought a balance, a harmony in the combination of oak, smoke and spirit. While the smoke is always discernible on the nose it is dry, earthy, peat- ash in its style and so allows the oak to come forward with waves of golden caramel, fudge, vanilla custard, hints of ginger, nutmeg and clove. There is citrus fruit, coaxed from the glass with a drop of water, gentle lemon meringue and clementine. Breathe deeply and the floral aromas of wild thyme, heather and sea pink bring you to this Atlantic coast.
Palate
On the palate there is a noticeable delicacy and softness in texture and style. Again, the balance of flavour is superb as the smoke wraps loosely around the sweetness drawn from deep within the oak. Coconut, vanilla custard, lemon honey combines with smoked oysters and sun baked salty sand.
Finish
The finish is sublime, smoky sure, but also the soft sweetness of fudge and malted barley, orange, mango and Banoffee pie hinting of the depth and quality of the oak. The many layers interchange on each sip. As the smoke comes and goes so too the notes of the spirit, ripe apple and apricot, beautifully intertwined with malt and oak sweetness and that typical port charlotte style dry smoke.
CHARACTER
Ageing for 10 years on the shores of Lochindaal has had a profound effect on this spirit. Like sunshine on a winters day, this Port Charlotte 10 brings clarity and lightens the mood, welcoming and brightening the future.

Great
Port Charlotte whisky often exhibit notes of maritime influence, brine, citrus, and a touch of sweetness from the malted barley. The whiskies are typically aged in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels, sherry casks, and other wine casks, adding complexity and depth to the flavor profile. Overall, Bruichladdich Port Charlotte is a popular choice among whisky enthusiasts who appreciate peated whiskies with a bold and smoky character. If you enjoy Islay whiskies and are a fan of peat smoke, Port Charlotte is definitely worth trying for its rich and complex flavor profile.

An alternative to Laphroig
Lovely peaty/smokey barbecue like nose. Smokey bacon taste with some bitter salinity and high heat on the finish. As a big fan of Laphroig, this one falls a tad short of but I still thoroughly enjoyed it while my husband yelled at the Knicks/Pacers game. 3.75 out of 5 stars for me.
