Part of Bruichladdich's Cask Exploration Series, this heavily peated (40 PPM) Port Charlotte was distilled in 2010 from Invernesshire barley, matured for ~8 years in ex-bourbon, Vin Doux Naturel and Syrah casks, then married and transferred to first-fill Oloroso Sherry hogsheads for a final 18 months before bottling at cask strength, non chill-filtered and without colouring.

A/ Official tasting notes

NOSE

Earthy peat smoke and dark fruit (predominantly fig) with toffee; as it opens, soft peach, honey and nutty nougat emerge alongside baked orange, mulled wine spice, dark chocolate and a maritime influence.

PALATE

Rich and oily with fragrant peat smoke, sherry-soaked raisins, figs, candied/caramelised nuts, orange, black pepper and walnuts, with hints of cigar box and peppery oak.

FINISH

Long, warming and drying, with liquorice, cocoa powder, dried fruits, brine and lingering peat smoke.
