Tasting Notes
Nose
Intense peat smoke, charred driftwood, sea spray, brine, lemon zest, and earthy malt, with an undercurrent of vanilla and toasted oak.
Palate
Explosive peat power balanced by sweet malt, citrus oils, peppery spice, and herbal smoke. Notes of barley sugar, coastal minerals, and warm oak add depth to the bold, youthful character.
Finish
Long, smoky, and invigorating, with persistent peat embers, sea salt, cracked black pepper, and a lingering sweetness that reflects classic Port Charlotte DNA.
The Bruichladdich Port Charlotte PC5 Evolution is a landmark Islay single malt and the very first official Port Charlotte bottling—making it one of the most significant releases in the distillery’s modern history. Distilled in 2001 under the visionary guidance of master distiller Jim McEwan and bottled in 2006, this heavily peated expression represents the rebirth of traditional Islay distillation at Bruichladdich. Limited to just 6,038 individually numbered bottles, the PC5 is now highly collectable and increasingly sought after by Islay enthusiasts and serious whisky collectors. Powerfully smoky, youthful, and brilliantly expressive, it captures the raw spirit and future promise of the Port Charlotte style.
