Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2012
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 50%
Score: 94 Points
This release comes from barley grown on eight Islay farms during 2011 and distilled in 2012, with maturation in a combination of 75% first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels and 25% second-fill wine casks. The nose has a gentle smokiness along with touches of apple cobbler, caramel candies, sea salt, and a hint of dried heather. The taste has a nice smokiness with touches of campfire ashes, grilled fruits, sea salt, and smoked salmon. The finish is long with a gentle smokiness that fades away softly. Perfect for a winter night! (January, 2021)
