This bottling of an 8-year-old Port Charlotte was produced as an original bottling of the distillery (Bruichladdich) as the 4th edition from the PC series. The whisky is heavily peated, was distilled in 2001, matured in selected American oak casks and was bottled at cask strength in 2009.
The Port Charlotte brand belongs to the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay, under which heavily peated whiskies are marketed. Port Charlotte or Lochindaal, as it was actually called in the past, was a distillery in the small town of Port Charlotte on Islay. It was founded in 1829 and closed again in 1929.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
