Port Charlotte 10 Year

slightly salty, fruity flavor. tons of peat. very well balanced. Bloody good scotch.

After letting this breath a bit I like it more and more. The wine finish lightened for me; it takes a back seat to the subtle clean smoke and peat. The classic peat vibes backed up by the richness of the wine finish with some signature Bruichladdich funk is heavenly.

At first the wine finish put me off. But this stuff rules. Firmly in favour of the new bottle design!

This one checks all my boxes. 10 years old, 50% ABV, non chillfiltered and no added colour. This is how you present a whisky! By far the most oily Scotch I've had, sticking to the glass like paint. On the nose I get peat, not medicinal but more mineral, and a whiff of the ocean. The palate has some black pepper, sea salt, sweet caramelized bacon and smoke. I get salty licorice on the finish and again the peppery note, it's medium long. Overall this is a great addition to the Bruichladdich core range, the bottle and packaging are on point as for all of their products. Cheers all!!

A beautiful whisky, the peat is there but not in the Ardberg ,Laphroaig way bonfire way This is not a full on campfire but the peat is there enough to satisfy the drinker that drinks those. This is one unique whiskey, its sweet with a peaty overtone. A beautifully balanced easy sipper. You start with sweet than the peat comes in just enough to let you know its there but the sweet lingers through the whole process. The finish is smooth no burn just a bit of warmth down in the belly. not what you would normally expect from a 100proofer. Beautiful drinker! As a sidenote the packaging is gorgeous. Comes in a metal tin and the embossed green glass bottle is just beautiful. I suspect a lot of buyers will retain the bottle when its empty. I give it 4.25 stars and it would be higher except the way its described as heavily peated may dissapoint those who are expecting a full on bonfire. The peat is there its just balanced beautifully with the sweetness. Highly reccomended. Give it a try suprise yourself as I did! Happy to have this in my collection and will buy again.
