TASTING NOTES

COLOR:
Golden syrup.

NOSE:
Dried fruits are immediate on the nose, with the aroma of figs, sultanas, and raisins mingling with sweet smoke and mellow oak. As the whisky breathes, charred oak, tobacco, and earthy heather come to the fore, complementing the delicate sweetness of caramel, toffee, and date syrup.

PALATE:
Luxuriously smooth in texture, with dark brown sugar, apricot jam, and sweet heather honey coating the palate. This initial sweetness is punctuated by Port Charlotte’s signature peat smoke, with the subtle influence of toasted oak adding depth and complexity. The earthy, barbecue smoke introduces a savory element, beautifully balanced with rich crème brûlée, hazelnut, and toasted coconut. A subtle minerality, nodding to the whisky’s all-Islay maturation, adds a hint of salt, cutting through the sweetness.

FINISH:
Wood spices, smoked leather, and a subtle nutty salinity settle on the finish, while the inimitable whisper of Port Charlotte peat smoke lingers, leaving an unforgettable impression.
