Tasting Notes
Imagine a cozy evening by the seaside, the salty air mingling with the aroma of a crackling campfire. That's the essence of Port Charlotte 10 Year Old, a smoky single malt from the rugged Isle of Islay. From the moment you uncork the bottle, your senses are enveloped in a symphony of flavors. The nose tantalizes with hints of salted caramel, zesty orange peel, and a briny whiff of seaweed, hinting at the maritime magic to come. On the palate, the oak-y smoke dances with the salty sea air, complemented by sweet notes of custard and white grape. As the flavors linger, the finish reveals a sprinkling of ginger snaps and rye toast, all wrapped in a veil of drying peat smokiness. Crafted from a blend of first-fill and second-fill American whiskey casks, along with second-fill French wine casks, this 10-year-old expression is a lip-smacking tribute to Islay's rugged charm.
