Port Charlotte Scottish Barley

It's good, and I dare not say this wasn't enjoyable, but the Islay Barley is a better expression. Here is a much more subdued whisky, with a nose that is regretfully quite weak. Regardless, with enough strain one can tease out hints of honey and phenolic compounds. The texture, body, and finish are unfortunately weak, with a rubbery finish. It all sounds negative, but it gets 4 stars because I did not find myself ambivalent as to its flavor. Rather, I much enjoyed it. Cheers!

Bold, earthy and medicinal nose from the generous amounts of peat, with the smell of dried wine skins coming through before you take your first sip. Vanilla and toffee sweetness make a surprise appearance, giving this whisky a smooth and silky mouthful. Unfortunately, the finish is very short.
