The Bruichladdich distillery is owned by the 3 Harvey brothers who built the distillery in 1881. The Harvey family has over a century of whisky distilling ownership in their family. The three brothers have a strong belief that the whisky industry has been stifled by industrialisation & self-interest. Companies now days try & do things the quickest way possible but at Bruichladdich they believe that taking time & using authentic equipment is the best way to make their single malts. The single malts are made from Scottish barley & when it comes to maturing the single malts, the boys at Bruichladdich use a variety of different wooded casks. These perform the vital task of allowing the evolution of the spirit by way of subtle & complex interactions between the micro-oxidation of the whiskies flavour compounds. Oak tannins extracted from the wood, the ozone-marine influence of the air absorbed through the wood & the whisky texture. This is the fourth instalment in the Port Charlotte series & aged for 8 years. The colour is described as a chartreuse sunset with its light amber tint. On the nose you get an updraft of sea spray & peat smoke greets you with spicy pepper & lemon aromas all exploding simultaneously. Notes follow of heather & myrtle combated by oak & malted barley burst. On the palate it is viscous, rich & oily. Peat fire flavours & the mellow rich taste of sweet oaky Demerara sugar toddy instantaneously erupt on the tongue. The finish is likely to leave you feeling as macho a man could ever be, with the power of this spirit reaching deep into your taste buds. ...

The latest release out of the Bruichladdich distillery is the Port Charlotte PC10. The 5th edition in this fantastic peated series, it is labelled with the slogan “ Tro Na Linntean” which means “through the generations”, as this whisky is dedicated to the future of the Bruichladdich distillery & the young men & women who are working their way through the ranks there. This is the first time that Bruichladdich can release an age statement on their Port Charlotte range, as this batch has been soaking up the ozone rich marine air for 10 years in Bruichladdich's Islay warehouse. This is a limited edition bottle in the series with only 6000 bottles being released, each one is individually numbered, non chill filtered & colouring free. The colour of the PC10 is an appealing bronze mahogany. On the nose, you first detect the sherry & peat, taking your mind to the shores of Islay with a little scent of lemon peel, back pepper, eucalyptus, cinnamon, heather & mint. All of these aromas are caressed & cooled by the coastal notes from the Atlantic, which merge superbly with the earthy flora & fauna aromatics of the peat moors, heaths & woodlands. On the palate you get a real flavour of the wood casks the whisky was aged in, the combination of both bourbon & sherry wood arrives in unhurried waves of sticky dates, mellow oloroso, chocolate orange, smoked malt, roasted walnut & dark toffee. On the finish, you notice a subtle change in the flavours, from the American bourbon wood which is evident throughout the tasting, to a finish of Spanish flair, exploding on the back of the throat with dark, sweet & passionate flavours all coming alive to give the PC10 a goodbye party to be remembered. ...
