Production method
Port Charlotte expressions are conceived, distilled, matured and bottled on Islay. Official releases are marketed un-chill-filtered and without added colourings; the range explores the influence of barley variety and cask management on the whisky's complexity.
Ageing
Maturation in oak casks combining different types of cask to achieve balance between peat and wood influence; official expressions indicate mixes of ex-bourbon and wine casks for maturation stages.
Producer history Port Charlotte
The name pays tribute to the old settlement and the historic (now inactive) Port Charlotte distillery on the island of Islay. Today 'Port Charlotte' is used as the brand for Bruichladdich's peated range: production, maturation and bottling take place on the island, in continuity with local tradition and with a modern emphasis on barley traceability.
Production philosophy
The range reflects Bruichladdich's philosophy of connection to the primary ingredient and the territory: strong attention to barley provenance, transparency of processes and an intent to express terroir through different expressions. The brand shares the producer's commitment to sustainable practices and social responsibility.
