Bruichladdich Port Charlotte SC: 01 2012 750ml

Port Charlotte SC:01 is a milestone release in Bruichladdich’s cask exploration series — a heavily peated single malt crafted with 100% Islay-grown barley for the first time in the series’ history. This expression celebrates the distillery’s two greatest passions: Islay provenance and exceptional French oak cask maturation.

Bold, expressive, and deeply rooted in its island terroir, SC:01 showcases the powerful smoke-driven style of Port Charlotte while delivering remarkable elegance and complexity through carefully selected French oak casks.

Character & Profile

Expect a beautiful tension between Islay smoky intensity and rich oak influence, creating a whisky that is both powerful and refined:

• Earthy, maritime peat smoke

• Sweet malt depth from local Islay-grown barley

• Vibrant fruit, toasted oak, and vanilla from French oak maturation

• Warming spice and long, smoky finesse

This is Port Charlotte at its most textured, layered, and terroir-driven.
