As former representatives of Bruichladdich, the creators of Rest & Be Thankful Whisky Co. have always beautiful casks from this distillery. Here we have a Port Charlotte aged 15 years, which has been bathed in a Sherry Butt, resulting in 864 bottles.

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

Fresh and airy peat on the nose, fleshy and vegetal. Dark chocolate with coffee beans, roasted nuts, soft toffee, blueberries and blackberries, muscat grapes, leather, brown tobacco, blood oranges, candied cherries, sandalwood, and a tiny hint of iodine in the background. On the palate, the fruit is heavier and thicker, barely hindered by the peat. It's typical of the distillery, with exotic fruits and chocolate, a few maritime notes, a campfire in the countryside, redcurrants, beetroot, citrus zest, heather, it's even almost vinous. Well-integrated spices, pepper, cloves, nutmeg. The peat returns in the finish, with a good layer of ash, fragrant bark, stuffed figs, then it becomes herbaceous, even medicinal, hazelnuts, floor wax, liquorice, clove, a drop of grapefruit.

 

In Short, 

Excellent Port Charlotte, where the peat is not omnipresent at all, giving way to a deluge of fruit and chocolate, liquorice, sandalwood and spices. In other words, everything you need. I'm sorry I didn't buy it when I had the chance, but now it's completely sold out and can only be found at auction for top dollar.

Score : 90
