Port Charlotte MRC:01 2010

Too spicy for my taste, but good aroma.

Best of the best peated whiskies!

Superb sweet, smokey whisky.

Not my type. Too peaty, too strange in smell

This is a very special dram indeed. Expectations of bold peat give way to the reality of fruit and spice, accompanied by the friendliness of smoke - not overwhelming, but present nonetheless, and supportive. On the palate, the smoke gives it a toasty flavor. Adding two drops of water (no more!) brings out more of the fruit, with similarity to a pear flambè. For a young scotch, it is punching well above its weight. Again, this scotch is a celebration, not something to be served on a Tuesday night to your neighbor Todd who came by to drop off your weedeater and asked for a drink. This is one to be kept at the back of the cabinet, lying in wait for the day you receive a little-expected but long-awaited promotion, tasted with a good friend in a well-stocked and comfortable home bar. Best served after a meal of pork tenderloin cooked at 145 degrees in a sous vide and seared in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, with a side of broiled brussel sprouts.Be careful not to overcook the sprouts or the scotch will be ruined. I'm serious. Don't doubt me.

Wow. Just wow. This beautiful amber liquid warms the soul like Luke Skywalker nestled in the belly of a freshly sliced Tauntaun. Complex notes of spice and fruit come together in this glorious ambrosia. Add a drop or two of water and you may just become pregnant. Well done Bruichladdich. Well done!

Found at a store that don’t know what they are selling since it was not entered into their computer. Ended up selling it at normal PC10 price. What a steal, their lost my gain. Neat in glencairn Color: deep brownish copper Nose: brine, seaweed, salty, nuts, smoke, peat, faint red wine smell, strong alcohol smell gives it quite a rubbery scent. It definitely smells young. Palate: oily, great viscosity, arrives light and sweet on the tongue, then exploded into berries, red grapes, smoke, ash, roasted peanut and almond. Complimented at the back with spicy pepper, oak, and hint of bitterness. Finish: very long and warm. Traces of smoke, bacon and nuts. The pepper spices linger. Added drops of water More sweet fruitiness, tamed not as hot, dry, the red wine influence shows. Great stuff, there’s a lot going on that gives you a unique experience. This is it if you want an adventure! 4.25 for the spirit 4.5 for the steal of price
