The Port Charlotte 2010 OLC: 01 Cask Exploration Series is a remarkable heavily peated single malt whisky from Bruichladdich Distillery, showcasing the expertise and innovation of Port Charlotte. Distilled in 2010 using 100% Scottish barley from Invernesshire, this gem has been aged for nine years, ultimately being bottled in 2020. It has a distinguished maturation journey, initially aged in a mix of 30% 1st Fill American Whisky Casks, 40% 2nd Fill American Whisky Casks, 25% Vin Doux Naturel Casks, and 5% 2nd Fill Syrah Casks, before being vatted and further aged for 18 months in First Fill Oloroso Hogsheads from Bodega Fernando de Castilla. This unique whisky boasts an ABV of 55.1%, with a phenol level of 40 parts per million, making it a robust and complex dram. The whisky is non-chill filtered and free from added color, preserving its natural amber-mahogany hue. Each sip reveals layers of smoky, fruity sweetness, showcasing the harmonious blend of peat smoke and the rich, nutty character imparted by the Oloroso casks. The nose presents an intricate aroma of earthy peat smoke, figs, toffee, peach, honey, mulled wine spices, dark chocolate, and crushed seashells. The palate continues this symphony with notes of peat smoke, sherry-soaked raisins, orange, black pepper, and walnuts, transitioning to a dry finish with earthy peat, roasted coffee, lime, figs, chocolate, and vanilla. This expression is part of the Cask Exploration Series, highlighting the versatility of Port Charlotte whisky and the exceptional quality of the casks they source. With only 30,000 bottles released, this limited edition is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Bruichladdich Distillery.
