Bruichladdich Port Charlotte SC:01 2012 Whisky

A heavily peated single malt Scotch from the southern shores of Islay, this richly expressive whisky is crafted with precision and a deep respect for provenance.

Made exclusively from barley grown within a 10-mile radius of the distillery during the 2012 harvest, it showcases a powerful yet elegant character shaped by time and cask. Matured in a carefully chosen combination of sherry and Sauternes casks, it balances robust smoke with layers of ripe fruit, creating a whisky that’s both bold and refined.

• Bruichladdich Port Charlotte SC:01 2012 Whisky reveals notes of pineapples, orange zest and poached pears wrapped in a whisper of earthy smoke.
• Sweetness from Sauternes cask influence adds hints of honey, vanilla and sultanas.
• A smoky backbone driven by its 40PPM phenol level delivers depth and structure.
• Underlying maritime salinity reflects its coastal Islay origin.
• Silky texture with a long, warming finish of toasted oak and baking spices.

Pair this exceptional single malt with rich and savoury dishes to elevate the tasting experience. Try with smoked duck breast, charred ribeye steak, or strong blue cheeses to complement the whisky’s peat intensity and fruity complexity. It also works beautifully alongside dark chocolate or spiced desserts, which echo its sweeter cask-driven nuances.
