Bruichladdich Port Charlotte PMC:01 2013

Port Charlotte PMC:01 is a story of place. The sixth release in our Cask Exploration series, the 2013 vintage has been profoundly influenced by the rich, fruit-laden oak of Pomerol wine casks – adding depth and complexity to this single malt.

We believe in creating whiskies that speak of the place they are from. When our distillery was resurrected in 2001, our founders were in disbelief about the stark disconnect between our essential raw ingredient and the industry’s lack of consideration for where it was grown, who grew it and how.

But we’ve changed that.

Terroir is imperative to the flavour of our single malt, and the next whisky in our Port Charlotte cask exploration series, PMC:01, has spent the second half of its maturation journey in Pomerol casks from Bordeaux’s Right Bank. A region with a closeknit community and renowned for its exceptional red wines, it has a distinct sense of place which directly influences the flavour of its grapes. The wines proudly speak of their point of origin, harnessing the warm climate and famous blue clay, gravel and sand of the appellation to impart a fresh yet rich silkiness.

PMC:01 is a story of place. The latest vintage - profoundly influenced by the rich, fruit-laden oak of the Pomerol casks, as well as the salty maritime note of its all-Islay maturation – brings together two unique locales. This is a whisky which links flavour to land. A whisky which speaks of a complex lineage. A whisky that is proud of where it’s from.

Balancing peat smoke with subtle floral and fruit notes, this PMC:01 2013 vintage has been conceived, distilled, matured and bottled only on Islay.
