Semi-exclusive to KWM, this 7 year old Port Charlotte (medium heavily peated Bruichladdich) was distilled in 2011, and bottled at 55.3% after maturing in an ex-Bourbon Barrel.

Producer Description

This Port Charlotte single malt was distilled at Bruichladdich distillery in 2011 and aged for over seven years in three bourbon barrels. It’s got a meaty character studded through with smoke, dirt and warm spices. Only 1,163 bottles have been produced.

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Farmyards, burnt grass, camphor, young Jamaican rum and petrol. Underneath the more powerful notes, there’s sweet potato pie, malt loaf and just a hint of peaches.

Palate: Oily and briny. Smoked ham, barley husks, Manzanilla sherry, almond oil, green olives. There’s a warmth of Christmas spice towards the end: clove and cinnamon.

Finish: Oak chips, sweet white wine, pancetta, rye bread and hot ashes.
