Port Charlotte 2013 PMC.01 70cl 54.5°
The 6th edition of the Cask Exploration series, dedicated to experimenting with different types of cask, this Single Malt was first aged in Bourbon casks for 4 years and then in Pomerol casks from the Bordeaux region for 5 years.
This type of cask gives Port Charlotte 2013 fruity, woody aromas, transmitted by the oak from which the Pomerol casks are made. Added to this are the maritime influences of the Isle of Islay, for a whisky full of depth and complexity, combining flavour and terroir.

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.
