Port Charlotte: The resurgence of an iconic Islay peaty single malt

Founded in 1829 by Colin Campbell under the name Lochindaal, the Port Charlotte distillery has survived the centuries. Although closed in 1929 , its buildings have been preserved and its warehouses are now used by the Bruichladdich distillery. The rebirth of Port Charlotte in 2001 marked an important turning point for Islay peated whiskies. Produced by Bruichladdich, this single malt is distinguished by a perfect balance between the characteristic power of peat and a floral and complex elegance. Port Charlotte expressions are renowned for their strength and finesse, offering enthusiasts a whisky rich in flavors and character. Port Charlotte thus illustrates the capacity for innovation and the preservation of Islay's heritage, appealing to connoisseurs who seek peated whiskies combining robustness and delicacy.
