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.

Port Charlotte is a whisky distillery located on the isle of Islay, which has been established by the neighbouring Bruichladdich distillery.


It has been established in the buildings of the former Lochindaal distillery. Located in the heart of the Port Charlotte village, Lochindaal has been founded in 1829 by Colin Campbell. It had to close down in 1929, hit by the prohibition laws enforced in the United States. Bruichladdich announced the creation of a new distillery in 2007, and today Port Charlotte produces the peated whiskies of the Bruichladdich group, together with the Octomore editions bought back in 2012 by the Remy Cointreau group.


A rare fact in Scotland, the Bruichladdich distillery (“Bruk-ladie”) uses a brewing vat in open air. Its onion-shaped stills have a very flat bottom and a long neck. During the distillation process, the alcoholic vapours rise very slowly, imparting to the whisky its elegance and refinement.

Colour: light amber.

Nose: notes of malted biscuit and peat on the first nose, then comes the aroma of vanilla followed by notes of honey, caramel, and crème brûlée. As the whiskey aerates, its fruitiness surfaces, including aromas of lemon and apple.

Palate: notes of citrus, ripe fruit and slightly peaty.

Finish: final notes with fruity aromas where the sweetness of the oak brings a perfect balance while a subtle aroma of smoke persists.
