Port
Charlotte The Peat Project replaces the
previous releases of 3D, PEAT and An
Turas Mor bottlings.
 No one knows what the original
Bruichladdich of 1881 actually tasted
like.
There are neither bottles in existence
nor tasting notes. What would it have
tasted like?
The Port Charlotte Peat Project sets out
to answer this conundrum.
This single malt whisky, distilled from
heavily peated barley at Bruichladdich
Distillery, is called Port Charlotte to
differentiate it from traditional,
unpeated Bruichladdich.
The Peat Project is distilled from
barley peated to 40ppm, and matured in
American Oak, in warehouses at the
nearby village of Port Charlotte.
It is a multivintage, assembled from
several different vintages and harvest
characteristics, for intriguing
complexity.
The Peat Project replaces the previous
releases of 3D, PEAT and An Turas Mor
bottlings.
Bruichladdich Available In Duty Free
It is very frustrating for a whisky
drinker when they cannot pick up there
favourite whisky at in the Duty Free
shop at the airport so you will be
pleased to hear that from August 2012 Bruichladdich whisky
will now be available in UK Duty Free.
As a small company started in 2000,
Bruichladdich
have been most conscious of employing
their valuable, limited whisky stocks to
the best use for their developing brand.
World Duty Free is undoubtedly a
fantastic shop window. Tempting as it
may be, their policy has been to avoid
Duty Free, to wait until both the time
and the economics were right for the brand.
It now appears that the time and the economics are now
right.
So, from August 2012, World Duty Free
will stock Laddie Classic (Litre), The
Organic and Port Charlotte Peat Project
in UK airports and 20 overseas.
The Peat Project will be available
online and from the Bruichladdich distillery shop from
30th July.

Tasting Notes
|
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose: A peat smokiness with
vanilla sweetness. Followed by spicy
black pepper & lemon spiciness, then
little wavelets of saltiness. Waiting
patiently to emerge are nutmeg,
cinnamon, wild mint and the malty
sweetness of spring barley.
Taste:
Brilliant creaminess. The texture, layer
upon layer, imparts an evenness of
flavours across the palate and cools the
peat fire warmth. A beautiful waltz of
aromas, scents, flavours and feelings
move across the palate.
Finish:
An extraordinary mix of vanilla
sweetness and peat smoke with a splash
of green fruit syrup and it lingers long
& mellow giving total satisfaction. A
captivating & uplifting experience to
enjoy the art of traditional handcrafted
distillation.
