Port Charlotte Islay Barley applies Bruichladdich's terroir philosophy to their heavily peated expression — using barley grown exclusively on Islay farms. The combination of local grain and heavy peating creates a whisky that is both heavily smoky and deeply connected to its island origins.
The Islay barley adds a distinctive character beneath the peat. The locally grown grain contributes a cereal richness that mainland-grown barley cannot replicate — a connection to the island's soil and climate that runs through the smoke.
Port Charlotte Islay Barley is a compelling combination of two Bruichladdich principles — terroir and peat. The Islay-grown grain adds authenticity and character, and the heavy peating provides the smoky intensity that the Port Charlotte name promises. Islay in its most concentrated form.
