- Description
- Port Charlotte MC:01 is Bruichladdich's peated expression, aged nine years in American whiskey and French oak before a Sicilian wine cask finish, creating a sophisticated collision of smoke and sweetness. The peat smoke is restrained and elegant rather than aggressive, giving way to dark cherry, caramel, and subtle citrus notes from the wine influence. The mouthfeel is silky and balanced, with a finish that lingers between maritime smoke and dried fruit. A refined choice for those who want peat complexity without overwhelming intensity.
