This is the third iteration of the standard bearer of Bruichladdich’s peaty Port Charlotte range, and it’s bottled at a higher ABV to the original in my collection, at 50% instead of 46%. The new edition also throws wine barrels into the mix, with a quarter of its whisky coming from second fill French wine casks. The nose is smoked meats, the palate sweet and chewy, the finish peppery. A wonderful step up from the original.
