Port Charlotte Scottish Barley (2017)
This is a “heavily” peated release from Bruichladdich at 40 ppm. They use 100% Scottish Barley from Port Charlotte to make the base spirit. Let’s see how this dram stacks up.
ABV: 50%
Nose: Peat, Slight Vanilla, Hay, Green Apple, Black Pepper, lemon zest.
Palate: Medium, oily mouthfeel. Warm, savory peat. Black pepper, hay, lemon zest, light vanilla.
Finish: Short length, vanilla, warm peat, pepper, lemon zest fade out quick.
Rating: 6/10
The flavors are good here, and it stands on its own well. It’s a bit pricey for a presumably young single malt but overall not a bad showing. Just wish the finish was longer on it.
