Port Charlotte is the heavily-peated product line at Bruichladdich. Unfortunately, this amazing whisky is NOT for sale. We tasted it directly from the cask. I even tried, to no avail, to convince our host to sell me the remainder of the cask. I initially scored this whisky a 97 (23-25-24-25) in the Bruichladdich warehouse on 14-Sep-2018. I tasted it again on 20-Jun-2024 from a driver's dram bottle that my friend Rob brought back with us from that visit. Now that I have 6 more years of whisky-tasting experience, I have re-scored it. Without a doubt, it is the best whisky I have ever had, and nearly perfect. Thank you Rob for this wonderful birthday gift!
