Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Islay Barley - $16
The wind-driven rain that lashes Islay’s fields, and the Atlantic air breathed by the casks as they mature by the shores of Loch Indaal, gives the whisky its signature salty, citrus tang. Harvested in September 2008 from the farms at Coull, Kynagarry, Island, Rockside, Starchmill & Sunderland, peated to 40 PPM, then distilled in December of the same year, this is a whisky of flawless provenance. Absolutely flawless construction and balance. Young, confident, zesty and absolutely delightful, the texture is smooth, succulent and stimulating.

Tasting Notes
| Proof | Color | Nose | Taste | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | Light Gold | Apples, pears and peat followed by notes of honey, saline, hay-like malt, white cocoa and lighter notes of toffee, buttercream frosting, charred meat and wax. This is an aroma with a good sense of depth | Apples, pears and peat again make up the bulk and get trailed by notes of honey, saline, brittle and a note that reminds me of walnut banana bread. Light bits of malty sweetness and cinnamon oil show up from time to time | Peat, banana walnut bread, salted butter, fruit and honey slowly fade out to something resembling smoked salmon |
