Elements of Islay Pl5 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (500ml)

Port Charlotte is Bruichladdich's heavily peated expression. This indie version from Elements of Islay was distilled in 2011 and aged for over seven years in three bourbon barrels. It has the characteristic meaty Port Charlotte character studded with smoke and warm spices. 1,163 bottles are on offer globally.

Notes from the bottlers... NOSE Farmyards, burnt grass, camphor, young Jamaican rum and petrol. Underneath the more powerful notes, there's sweet potato pie, malt loaf and just a hint of peaches. PALATE Oily and briny. Smoked ham, barley husks, Manzanilla sherry, almond oil, green olives. There's a warmth of Christmas spice towards the end: clove and cinnamon. FINISH Oak chips, sweet white wine, pancetta, rye bread and hot ashes. 63.1% Alc./Vol.
