- Description
- Port Charlotte SC:01 layers Bruichladdich's aggressive peat smoke with sherry butt complexity and Sauternes cask richness into a single, cohesive expression. The 9-year-old spirit delivers dark chocolate, stone fruit, and honeyed sweetness that temper rather than hide the smoke, while the wine finishes add floral and candied notes. Thick and coating on the palate, with a lingering finish that balances sweet and savoury. A benchmark heavily-peated whisky for those who want smoke married to genuine sweetness.
