The Port Charlotte 2011 Islay Barley is a single malt whisky from the Bruichladdich distillery, embodying the quintessential characteristics of the Islay region. Crafted with a peat level of 40ppm, this whisky truly captures the essence of the island. The barley used is locally grown, sourced from three Islay farms, making up 42% of the grain content. Bruichladdich’s future plans include performing the malting process in-house to further refine their authentic approach. The whisky presents a peaty, coastal aroma featuring notes of salt, dry smoke, and apple sauce. On the palate, it is light and smoky with nuances of tar, charcoal, and lemon drops. The finish is refreshing with a gentle spirit and a hint of floral sea breeze. The sweetness from the oak and barley is perfectly balanced by the dry peat smoke. Matured for 6 years in a combination of first-fill American whisky casks and second-fill red wine casks, the Port Charlotte 2011 Islay Barley offers a rich and aromatic flavor profile. Bottled in 2018 at 50% ABV, this whisky delivers a distinct and unique taste, thanks to the 2011 harvest of Islay barley. The additional aromas of vanilla, coconut milk, lemon cake, egg custard, white chocolate, and earthy peat smoke enhance the complexity, while the taste includes smoky peat, cereal and honey flavors, tar notes, maritime salt, and slightly sweet caramel. The finish brings coconut, tar, medium length, tobacco notes, salty sea air, and bonfire smoke, creating a multifaceted drinking experience.
