Port Charlotte SC:01 2012

Tasting Notes
"The aroma brings to mind lightly smoked bacon, toasted barley, grass and lemon. Adding just a splash of water brings out some herbal honey and oak. A hint of menthol present as well. The whisky feels moderately full on the palate and a little oily. There's also a touch of dark chocolate along with the sweet and mossy flavors. Overall, an herbal, peaty and dried fruit experience with citrusy honey finish. Intriguing to say the least. "
