Nose - Sweet ash, hint of salt, creamy lactic sweetness, cracked black peppercorns, hint of lemon zest Taste - Subtle sweet ash, cracked peppercorns, salt, lactic sweet, gentle smoke tingle just before the swallow, lemon zest Finish - Blast of salty sweet ash just after the swallow, transitions to cracked black pepper & lemon zest Score - 82/100 Final Thoughts - Although they claim Port Charlotte to be pretty heavily peated, it's actually quite gentle in this one. The peat is present, but complements the lactic sweet quality I get from Bruichladdich quite well. It almost comes across as more of a gentle clean ash than any meaty or campfire smoke that I've gotten in other peated Scotch. This is fairly straightforward and easy to sip. Not the most complex, but very classic Bruichladdich with a hint of smoke/ash.
