Port Charlotte 18 Year Old (51.5% ABV)

Port Charlotte's 18-year-old single malt delivers Bruichladdich's signature peat at 40 PPM through a complex maturation strategy across bourbon, sherry, and new French oak casks. The layered cask influence builds rich chocolate and dried stone fruit beneath the peat's medicinal character, while the phenolic profile remains accessible rather than aggressive. At 51.5% ABV, the texture is full-bodied and expressive, with a smoke-tinged finish that balances sweetness and maritime depth. This suits those seeking heavily peated Islay with nuance and structure, where multiple cask types create genuine complexity.
