Tasting Notes:

Schmeckt für mich mehr nach Asche als nach Rauch. Und dazu kommt noch eine gewisse Schwefelnote. Muss man mögen. Mir schmeckt er, wobei eher als leckerer nicht so tiefgründiger Whisky.

Port Charlotte 10 yo (46%, OB, 2012) The first ‘regular’ 10 yo Port Charlotte. If the quality’s similar to that of the Laddie Ten, well, we’re happy. Colour: gold. Nose: ah well, this is massively both tarry and medicinal. It’s interesting because most PCs we could try so far, especially from indies, came from very active wood while this seems to be more ‘natural’. So we’re between fresh tarmac, mercurochrome and encaustic, which is a profile unlike any other (esp. none from the island’s south shore). Very singular and probably very polarising. Fresh barley and ‘a kiln’.  Mouth: starts a little bizarrely, hesitating between lemons, tar/liquorice and brine, all those flavours appearing intermittently. Maybe that’s what we could call an alternative whisky? ;-) Goes on with marzipan and some kind of sweet and sour notes. Lemon-sprinkled kippers and oysters. Finish: long, ashy, tarry. A very sooty/ashy aftertaste. Comments: as expected, it’s very good whisky but I must say I like most other PCs better – and god knows I’m a sucker for Port Charlotte. I’m pretty sure this 10 will improve mucho mucho when they’ll start adding newer vintages to the vatting. SGP:257 - 82 points.

Nez tourbe, étable, bouse de vache, terre : dirty !

Bouche cendre froide, tourbe médicinale sur la myrte, gras et bon.

Dommage que la finale amère soit le point noir de ce whisky et fasse chuter son appréciation globale.
