Port Charlotte 10 Year Old is a heavily peated Islay single malt whisky, bottled at 50% ABV. It is known for combining a strong smoky character with the richer malt and coastal style often associated with Islay.
Despite the bold peat, this whisky is generally seen as balanced rather than one-dimensional. For a novice drinker, expect noticeable smoke first, with underlying malt sweetness and maritime notes that help keep it approachable for its style.
