Tasting Notes
"Bruichladdich's Port Charlotte 10 Year falls on the peatier side of the Islay spectrum, but that's not to say it lacks complexity. Its assertive phenols are balanced by a gentle sweetness and notes of vanilla, hay, and orange peel. This very welcome addition to the regular Bruichladdich line-up earns a spot alongside more familiar Islay whiskies."
