PORT CHARLOTTE - PMC: 01 - Heavily Peated - 2013 - 54.5%
Bruichladdich Distillery is located on the island of Islay , Scotland . It produces Single Malts whiskeys under three labels: Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore . The distillery also makes The Botanist Gin. The distillery was built in 1881 by the Harvey brothers. After family disputes, William Harvey ran the company until a fire in 1934 and his death in 1936. Over the next decades, it changed hands several times and was finally closed in 1994. In 2000, Bruichladdich was purchased by a group of investors led by Mark Reynier of Murray McDavid (also known today for its Waterford whiskeys in Ireland). The entire distillery has been dismantled and rebuilt, although it retains its Victorian equipment, it is gravity fed and has no computer controlled processes. In 2012, the company was bought by Rémy Cointreau . The Bruichladdich distillery attaches great importance to the origin of the barley in its production and marketing.
The Bruichladdich range is unpeated, the heavily peated expressions are released under the Port Charlotte name and the Octomore series is a limited edition series with the highest peat levels of any Single Malt.
The Port Charlotte PMC:01 is the sixth release in the distillery’s “Cask Exploration” series, created to showcase the influence of wood on the heavily peated spirit. This limited edition was distilled in 2013 from Islay barley of the Concerto variety. The whiskey is first aged for 4 years in first-fill Bourbon barrels, then transferred to barrels that have contained Pomerol wine for an additional 5 years.
