Port Charlotte 10 Year Old is Bruichladdich’s flagship heavily peated expression, distilled and aged entirely on Islay. Peated to 40 ppm, it delivers the bonfire smoke and sea spray you expect from Islay malts, but with an elegant backbone of malt sweetness, fruit, and spice.
Aged for a decade in a thoughtful mix of first-fill bourbon, sherry, and French wine casks, the whisky offers layers of charred oak, briny peat, honeyed malt, lemon zest, and a hint of orchard fruit. The mouthfeel is full and oily, with peat smoke lingering on a warm, peppery finish.
Bottled at 50% ABV and non-chill filtered, with natural color, this is a serious whisky that stays true to Bruichladdich’s philosophy of transparency, place, and purity.
Enjoy it neat, with a splash of water, or alongside smoked meats and rich cheeses. A must-try for fans of Lagavulin, Ardbeg, or Laphroaig looking for a peat-forward Scotch with a little more finesse.
