95 / 100"Very high quality & teasingly complex peated malt"
- Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible
93 / 100
"After many limited releases, we finally have a permanent age-statement expression of Port Charlotte, with a satisfying number of years under its belt.... It is peated to 40ppm, in line with other Islay heavy-hitters, but the peat is never a blunt instrument, retaining sufficient restraint to allow other characteristics—maritime notes, the sweetness of caramel, coconut, and orchard fruits—to shine through. Number 4 in the 2018 Top 20 - Gavin Smith"

Tasting Notes
Bold and robust flavour profile. The peat smoke takes centre stage, enveloping your taste buds with a smouldering intensity. The smokiness is accompanied by a delightful interplay of flavours, including charred oak, brine, and a touch of iodine, evoking the maritime influence of the Islay region. Amidst the smoke, there are layers of sweetness, with hints of caramel, vanilla, and honey, providing a harmonious balance to the powerful peat.
