Port Charlotte 10 Year is Bruichladdich’s iconic heavily peated Islay single malt—bold, smoky, and crafted entirely on Islay. Distilled from 100% Scottish barley and matured for a decade in a combination of first-fill American whiskey casks, second-fill whiskey casks, and French wine casks, this expression balances intense peat smoke with surprising depth and complexity.
Bottled at 50% ABV, non-chill filtered, and naturally colored, Port Charlotte 10 is a modern Islay classic that showcases both power and precision.
