As Simon Coughlin, CEO of International Single Malt Whisky at Remy Cointreau states, Bruichladdich gives a huge emphasis on being from Islay. From people working at the distillery to the barley used, you can easily see how important being from Islay is. The brand has been revived, although the distillery as such remained closed. Whisky distilled at nearby Bruichladdich is matured in oak casks at Port Charlotte. Whiskies currently bottled there include: If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

It’s not aggressive, it’s not weak, it’s just well balanced and damn good. Though, to be honest, I’ve never met a PC10 I didn’t like. It may shift and change a bit from one release to the next, but it’s always a solid, tasty, Islay Scotch that covers an array of notes to cover an array of preferences. From fruity to coastal Port Charlotte 10 Years is just plain pleasant. I’ve had a decent amount of Port Charlotte over the years and here on The Whiskey Jug, I’ve covered the tasty PC6, a 12-year-old Burns’ Night Port Charlotte, an older version of the Port Charlotte Scottish Barley, an older Port Charlotte Islay Barley, an OG PC10 and yesterday the Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2012. They’ve all been delicious, but this… this is something a bit different.Then an overlooked concept comes into the game. Currently, 78000 casks are being matured on the island. Why is this so important? Because a good portion of Islay whiskies are actually not matured on the island. After being distilled, whisky is taken to the mainland for its aging process. It is in the same country, but it is not Islay! Since climate conditions are quite different in Islay, the distillery is being very strict about aging on the island. Being Heavily Peated Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. Port Charlotte distillery (also known as Rhins distillery and Lochindaal distillery) was a Scotch whisky distillery on the island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland from 1829 to 1929. The distillery was based in the village of Port Charlotte 2 miles (3 kilometres) southwest from the Bruichladdich distillery. [1] [2] History [ edit ] Employees of the distillery in the 2nd half of the 19th century We believe to be called an Islay malt brings with it responsibilities – responsibilities to our community and to future generations here. Of nine distilleries on the island we’re the third smallest, yet we are its largest private employer; 80 of our 111 hundred strong team are based here. This means something.

The newly built footpath, the Loch Indaal Way, is ideal to visit the neighbouring village of Bruichladdich. It’s a little over a mile long and offers stunning views over Loch Indaal. Near the war memorial at Port Ban is a lovely secluded beach with clear water safe for swimming. And of course the main attraction of Bruichladdich is the Bruichladdich Distillery which draws thousand of visitors each year, and especially during the Islay Whisky Festival. If you want a bite to eat or a coffee you can do so at Debbies Minimarket, a few hundred metres further down from the distillery on your left. For anyone interested in the local flora and fauna, which is a LOT, a visit to the Islay Nature Centre is a must. They hold a large collection of books, have displays of local wildlife and there is a hands on section for the younger visitors to get close to some of the local wildlife. The folk from the nature centre also organise walks to various parts of the island during the season. For opening hours and an overview of their activities visit www.islaynaturalhistory.org Port Charlotte whisky gets its name from the village of Port Charlotte, a white-walled and windswept sort of place just a couple of kilometers down the road from Bruichladdich. This release, Port Charlotte 10, is distilled from 100% Scottish barley peated to 40 ppm. Ppm stands for parts per million phenol, a common method for for gauging the smokiness of malted barley that isn’t always useful for consumers. The distillate ages at least 10 years on Islay in a mix of first- and second-fill American whiskey casks, and second-fill French wine casks. It’s bottled at 50% ABV and, like all of Bruichladdich’s whiskies, without coloring or chill filtration. Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law. We shall first try to settle any dispute over a dram of whisky. Disputes that cannot be settled over multiple drams of whisky shall be solely submitted to the court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise.

Say hello to the final Scotch in our peated Bruichladdich run: Port Charlotte 10 Years. I did a PC10 review a few years ago, but I wanted to see if more than the bottle got a facelift. And, spoiler, it did. But that’s to be expected with a distillery whose goal is flavor, not consistency. St Kiaran’s church, half a mile before the village on your right, is built in the Norman style. It was built to serve the expanding population of the villages on the Rhinns. Begun with the laying of the foundation stone in 1898, it was completed a year later. St Kiaran’s became the Parish Church in 1977 when Kilchoman Church was closed due to the depopulation of the area it had served. It has an interesting interior with a Norman arch separating the nave and chancel, a curved wall with two small stained glass windows, and some attractive wall hangings. More info here Our family has lived in Port Charlotte for six years and we still miss the village a lot, and most of all its people. During our time in the village we’ve met so many wonderful, colourful and lovely folk. It still amazes us how easily we’ve been accepted into this close knit island community. I remember a funeral of one of the locals at Nerabus. Afterwards we had a dram and some oatcakes and Campbell came up to me and said: Now you’re one of us. And that’s exactly how it still feels to this day although we are miles apart. The memories of this wonderful period, the lovely people and the island itself will always have a very special place in our heart. Thanks ?
