Port Charlotte PAC: 01 2011 Cask Exploration Series French Red Wine Finish 56.1% 700ml information

The Port Charlotte PAC: 01 2011 is a captivating single malt whisky from the renowned Islay region, known for its heavily peated expressions. Part of the Cask Exploration Series by Bruichladdich Distillery, this edition is a masterful blend of tradition and innovation. Distilled in 2011 using 100% Scottish barley, the whisky undergoes slow distillation, a method cherished by the distillery for its ability to enhance the depth and character of the spirit.

Initially, the whisky matures for six years in American oak casks that formerly housed Bordeaux red wine, imbuing it with rich, complex flavors. The journey continues with an additional two years in Pauillac red wine barrels, adding layers of sophistication and a unique touch from the French oak. Bottled in 2021 at a natural cask strength of 56.1% ABV, this whisky is free from chill filtration and artificial coloring, ensuring an authentic and unaltered tasting experience.

This expression, the third in the Cask Exploration Series, showcases a phenolic count of 40 ppm, delivering the signature smoky character of Islay single malts. Selected by Master Distiller Jim McEwan, the Port Charlotte PAC: 01 2011 is a celebration of the distillery's expertise and commitment to quality. The whisky reveals a rich ruby color and a symphony of aromas, including ripe dark cherries, red apples, dark chocolate, and a hint of smoke.

On the palate, it offers an elegant blend of sweet and fruity notes, enhanced by touches of dark chocolate, marzipan, and oak. The mouthfeel is smooth and well-balanced, with a long finish that lingers with red fruits, spices, and a subtle smokiness. This remarkable whisky is a testament to the versatility of Bruichladdich's craft, making it a must-try for any whisky enthusiast.

Reviewer's opinion

This iteration of Bruichladdich's Port Charlotte Cask Exploration Series is highly praised. While it may not surpass the favorite OLC:01 for some, it comes very close. Priced just under 100 €, it offers great value and is recommended for fans of fruity smoked sweetness. The nose reveals layers of ripe dark cherries, red apples, and berry notes, complemented by maritime breeze and warm smokiness. The taste is sweet and fruity with dark chocolate, reminiscent of a mild barbecue glaze. The finish is medium-long, with the warm smoke wearing off first, followed by lingering sweetness, spices, and wood notes.
