Distilled from barley peated to 40 PPM, it has softened over nearly two decades into a rich, deeply layered smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruichladdich, a B Corp certified distillery on the shores of Lochindaal, makes Port Charlotte as its heavily peated style. This release combines refill sherry and refill French oak wine casks, and the long maturation turns youthful peat into soft barbecue smoke underpinned by coastal brine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, soft barbecue smoke is tempered by sherry and wine casks, with dried fruit and dark chocolate. The palate suggests orange, cinder toffee and caramel, with a touch of sea salt, rich and rounded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heavy dark bottle with its bold 18 marking is a statement on any shelf, and it is a prized find for lovers of peated Islay whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour it slowly; the smoke and fruit keep unfolding in the glass. Eighteen years is a rare age for heavily peated whisky, and this bottling shows how time can turn bold smoke into something rich and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft barbecue smoke, dried fruit and dark chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange, cinder toffee, caramel and sea salt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, smoky and rounded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bruichladdich (Port Charlotte)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, heavily peated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 103 proof (51.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refill sherry and refill French oak wine casks; 40 PPM peated barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Islay, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat, then add a drop of water to bring out the orange and toffee.
