Port Charlotte 9yr Islay Barley Heavily Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 2013

This is hands down in our opinion one of the top scotches you could get your hands on. Nothing about it screams super rare or super flashy. It is not the oldest, peatiest or most expensive whisky you could get. Many people are likely still completely unfamliar with Port Charlotte as a brand. But this whisky and the distillery it comes from have set off many of the current trends that have made waves across the Scotch industry in the past decade. Made from 100% local, Islay grown barley that is heavily peated with the iconic local peat of the island, aged for a good amount of time, but not too long that the key elements of terroir begin to fade, this is bottled from a single vintage at 100 proof and is the essence of great single malt in a bottle. Very limited.
