Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Scottish Barley 50% abv, Non Chill Filtered and Natural Color   The Port Charlotte line is one that I am familiar with in the Bruichladdich family however the last time I tasted this was back when Jim McEwan was still with them….so that makes me 7 years overdue to get my hands back around some Port Charlotte.   The smell ash and peat as expected honey and green apple. – a fresh or clean smell to it The taste is really hot at first, beyond that is honey and peat.  With a little water it’s really nice the clean peat and honey really stand out.  Caramelized sugar, vanilla apple and some pepper.  The finish is quite long as with most peated whiskies.  Smoke, sea salt, vanilla and pepper.   This PC is just like the ones from the past I remember which is good.  I have yet to try the PC Islay Barley or the PC 10 but I suspect those will be purchased here before too long.  Overall this is a very good peated Islay whisky.    Overall Grade: B
