Port Charlotte PAC: 01-2011 (56.1%)

Production of Port Charlotte whisky at Bruichladdich first began on May 29, 2001. Incidentally, Bruichladdich distillery is located on the epic island of Islay in Scotland. It’s right across the bay from Bowmore distillery. 
Port Charlotte PAC:01 2011 is all about creating a boutique form of peat that comes across as “soft, barbeque-smokey Scotch,” according to the distillery. This was aged in high quality French oak casks. “Two parcels of Scottish barley distilled spirit have matured for a minimum of six years in ex-American oak casks before being transferred to red wine casks from the Gironde left bank, north of Bordeaux. Bottled at 56.1% abv, this spirit showcases stunning spice and fruit notes. It is a rich and elegant, undeniably Islay single malt.”
