- Description
- Port Charlotte's MRC:01 is Bruichladdich's peated expression using only Scottish barley, aged across three separate cask types for layered development. The marriage of 50% first-fill bourbon and 50% second-fill wine casks, finished in Bordeaux casks for an additional year, creates interplay between smoke, orchard fruit, and wine tannins. The texture is medium-bodied with lingering peat smoke tempered by subtle wine influence. A sophisticated approach to Islay peat for those seeking balance over raw intensity.
