Port Charlotte 13 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
Bruichladdich
Tasting Notes
Port Charlotte 13 Year Old is a delightfully smoky single malt from the renowned Bruichladdich distillery, bottled by the innovative That Boutique-y Whisky Company. On the nose, it captivates with a mossy, earthy aroma infused with smoked sea salt and burnt heather, complemented by hints of chestnuts, sweet fruit, and a meaty element. The palate offers a intriguing contrast, combining a medicinal quality reminiscent of TCP with a delightful sweetness from vanilla, violet, and a touch of cherry, all harmoniously balanced with the signature peat and meat notes that define its character. Surprisingly delicate on the finish, it lingers with notes of brown sugar, earth, and soot, leaving a lasting impression. This expression pays homage to the five molecules that whisky enthusiasts revere – Phenol, O-Cresol, M-Cresol, P-Cresol, and Guaiacol – the phenolic compounds responsible for the captivating smokiness that defines peated whiskies.
