History,
We believe in creating whiskies that speak of the place they are from. When our distillery was resurrected in 2001, our founders were in disbelief about the stark disconnect between our essential raw ingredient and the industry’s lack of consideration for where it was grown, who grew it and how.
But we’ve changed that.
Terroir is imperative to the flavour of our single malt, and the next whisky in our Port Charlotte cask exploration series, PMC:01, has spent the second half of its maturation journey in Pomerol casks from Bordeaux’s Right Bank. A region with a closeknit community and renowned for its exceptional red wines, it has a distinct sense of place which directly influences the flavour of its grapes. The wines proudly speak of their point of origin, harnessing the warm climate and famous blue clay, gravel and sand of the appellation to impart a fresh yet rich silkiness.
PMC:01 is a story of place. The latest vintage - profoundly influenced by the rich, fruit-laden oak of the Pomerol casks, as well as the salty maritime note of its all-Islay maturation – brings together two unique locales. This is a whisky which links flavour to land. A whisky which speaks of a complex lineage. A whisky that is proud of where it’s from.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Warm peat smoke and red fruits open on the nose, moving to stewed pears, melon and a subtle marine note. Delicate floral notes of rose and geranium follow, with hints of vanilla, honey, leather and toasted oak coming from the wood. As the spirit opens further, a subtle spice mix of clove and ginger comes to the fore, with a touch of marzipan
Palate: Malt sugar and peat smoke complement the tremendous viscosity of the liquid which coats the palate. The influence of the cask continues and showcases the harmonious balance of oak and fruit, with succulent blackberries, plum and aged leather.
Finish: Mellow marine tones, crushed seashells and a hint of citrus lemon rind nod to the single malt’s all-Islay maturation while Port Charlotte’s signature peat smoke lingers.
