Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2014 70cl 50°

The new Single Malt Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2014 brilliantly embodies Islay whisky.

Distilled from barley grown directly in Islay like the entire Islay Barley series, this Port Charlotte develops an understated complexity and depth that highlights the unique character of the island's terroir.

This new expression, available in a limited edition, highlights the delicate balance between fruit and smoke for which the distillery's Single Malt is renowned.

Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2014 is made from barley sourced from eight farms on the Isle of Islay (Cruach, Craigens, Island, Dunlossit, Coull, Rockside, Sunderland and Mulindry farms). Working as closely as possible with its partners allows the distillery to reduce its transport-related emissions and to provide its Single Malts with perfect traceability.

• Made from barley grown exclusively on the Isle of Islay
• Peaty at 40 ppm*
• Aging in oak barrels: 84% in 1st fill Bourbon whiskey barrels, 8% in 2nd fill virgin oak barrels and 8% in 2nd fill Bordeaux wine barrels.
• 8-year-old Single Malt bottled on Islay
• Without added caramel coloring and not cold filtered

*PPM - parts per million - of phenolics measures the impact of oily peat smoke that settles on sprouted barley as it dries. The longer this time, the higher the ppm value. An already well peated Islay whisky is around 40-50ppm. But let's never forget the particularities of each distillery in terms of the taste of the whisky in the mouth.
