The oldest ever expression of Port Charlotte Islay Single Malt to be released to date. Limited to 6,000 bottles, its rich peaty profile celebrates authenticity, provenance, and community.
Staying true to the classic vibrancy of the heavily-peated (40PPM) Port Charlotte spirit, this 18 Year Old expression has been profoundly influenced by its cask maturation profile and the passing of time, resulting in a complex and unforgettable single malt.
THE OLDEST PORT CHARLOTTE TO DATE,
A RARE LIMITED RELEASE.
'This is a whisky dedicated to our island, our community, and people. For me, it’s everything an Islay whisky can and should be. So much has evolved and changed on our island while these casks have been quietly maturing in our warehouses, and this 18 Year Old pays homage to our past while looking ahead to the future.
It is the truest expression of an Islay whisky, with everything – from the distillation through to maturation, and bottling – done on the island. This is a whisky about place. A spirit which embodies almost two decades of commitment to our island home.'
Made with 100% Scottish barley, Port Charlotte 18 Year Old was conceived, distilled, matured and bottled exclusively on Islay, our island home.
Colour
Hazel
Nose
Notes of dried fruit, figs, sweet sultanas and raisins immediately open on the nose, followed by soft smoke and mellow oak. As the whisky opens further it reveals leathery notes of tobacco and burnt heather, with marine-tinged smoke balanced with cinder toffee and date syrup.
