Port Charlotte Islay Barley

Oct 2019, Clear medium minus gold. Aromatic sweet maltose, ester, oily farmyard, malt biscuits and a little peated smoke in nose. Warm medium sweet malt biscuits, light vanilla, light peated smoked grain, and burned pencil in the palate. Good balance, malty sweet finish.

Hot alcohol burn on the nose, and also tastes of alcohol at the front with a warm, smokey, peaty finish. Best enjoyed with a large ice ball. Clinkies!

Back of the throat burn but excellent smoky follow through that is pleasing. Drams Up!

Peat lovers will have sweet dreams of this tasteful wonder. My mouth was baptized in the peat of a thousand fires. After the initial impact I was left with just the briny aftermath. Surprised and pleased. Bravo Port Charlotte.

Summer BBQ anyone? Nose: BBQ smoke house. Brisket, pork shoulder and creamed corn Apples, toffee and freshly tossed hay Palate: Savory smoked meat Salty honey, vanilla, peanut brittle and corn bread. Malty sweetness and a mouthful of BBQ fattiness. Finish: Did I say BBQ yet? Bread, honeyed fruits and sea salt caramel Wooo, what a unique experience. If you love Islay and having a BBQ in the backyard...this needs to be in your collection.
