Port Charlotte MRC:01 2010 was distilled at Bruichladdich Distillery in 2010 with 100% malted barley from the Invernesshire region in Scotland. The Port Charlotte line from the distillery uses malted barley which is peated to a level of 40 ppm. The single malt matured with one half in first-fill American whiskey casks and the other half in 2nd-fill French wine casks. These single malts were then combined and matured for one more year in French oak wine casks from the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Bottled at cask strength of 59.2% ABV with no chill filtration and no color added.

Tasting Notes

"Lots going on aromatically including sweet smoke, beef jerky, malt, toasted barrel spices and vanilla. There are hints of red fruits around the edges which become more apparent when tasting. This dram is full of spices on the palate and the finish is on the bittersweet side. Consider adding just a touch of water to really get the full scope of the flavors, particularly the fruity ones. This is a real treat."
