'Rare Cask' Port Charlotte 2005 20 Year Old

About

Port Charlotte 2005 is an exceptional single malt from Bruichladdich, matured for twenty years in bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength by Lady of the Glen. This whisky showcases a compelling balance between sweetness and smoke, with toasted brioche and subtle camphor notes on the nose, complemented by vibrant fruit character. Apple, honey, and hints of tropical pineapple emerge with time, creating a multifaceted aromatic profile. On the palate, the full-bodied spirit reveals layers of vanilla, almonds, and walnuts, enriched with honeyed sweetness and juicy dried fruits. Baking spices including cinnamon and nutmeg add complexity, while the thick, oily mouthfeel carries these flavours with impressive weight. The finish is long and earthy, with lingering spice and a gentle smoky undertone that marks this as a distinguished Islay expression.
