Port Charlotte

-

For Port Charlotte, a single malt heavily peated is up to 40 ppm. The fillet distilled through their large, narrowneck­ed still, the resulting rich and aromatic alcohol has all the power of peat with the elegance and finesse for which the stills are renowned.

Their spirits mature their entire lives in warehouses on the Loch Indaal side of Islay, gradually responding to the sea, the air and the unique seasonal changes of Scotland’s west coast. His team carefully monitors each cask before being bottled in Harvey Hall, using spring water from Islay.

Port Charlotte single malt explores the intricacie­s of natural whisky through the provenance of the barley, the influence of the cask and the passage of time. It is the living proof that their values are rooted in provenance, authentici­ty and transparen­cy.

One of the most sought-after whiskies in this range is the MRC: 01. Bottled at 59.2% alcohol and in limited numbers, the 2010 Port Charlotte MRC: 01 is distilled from 100% Scottish barley from the region of Invernessh­ire. This sweet and fruity alcohol has spent time filling American whisky casks and second filling in French wine barrels. These constituen­t parts were combined and aged for an additional year in the best French oak barrels from the left bank of Bordeaux. It is forbidden to tell you what these barrels are, but you will find it if you can guess the acronym.
