Port CharlotteIslay Barley

Port Charlotte Islay Barley is a single malt whisky that embodies the essence of Islay's rich whisky-making tradition. Crafted from 100% Scottish barley, this whisky is distilled, matured, and bottled on the island, ensuring a true representation of its terroir. The barley used is grown on Islay, giving the whisky a unique character that reflects the island's maritime climate and fertile soil. This dedication to local ingredients and traditional methods results in a spirit that is both complex and deeply rooted in its origins.

The whisky is matured in a combination of American and European oak casks, which impart a rich and layered flavor profile. The influence of the oak is evident in the whisky's deep, golden color and its intricate balance of flavors. The peat smoke, a hallmark of Islay whiskies, is present but not overpowering, allowing the natural sweetness of the barley to shine through. This balance makes it approachable for both seasoned whisky enthusiasts and those new to peated whiskies.

On the palate, the whisky offers a harmonious blend of smoky, sweet, and fruity notes. The peat smoke is complemented by hints of vanilla, oak, and a subtle maritime influence, reminiscent of sea spray and coastal breezes. The finish is long and warming, with the smoke gradually fading to reveal a lingering sweetness. This whisky is a testament to the craftsmanship and heritage of Islay's whisky makers, offering a taste experience that is both rich and evocative of its island home.
