The Port Charlotte SYC:01 Scotch Whiskey has been announced as part of the Cask Exploration series as a new expression that will provide discerning spirit aficionados with a must-have option this year. The spirit is a heavily peated Islay single malt Scotch Whiskey that has been matured in Syrah casks sourced from a winery in the northern Rhône, France region. The spirit thus has a complex flavor profile that has taken on the rich, red fruit notes from the Syrah wine and also imparted a delicate level of spice.
Bruichladdich Distillery Head Distiller Adam Hannett spoke on the Port Charlotte SYC:01 Scotch Whiskey saying, "With Port Charlotte SYC:01, the immense influence of the Syrah casks is clear to see. It’s a balancing act to ensure the oak and the peat smoke work in perfect harmony and our versatile Port Charlotte spirit has worked amazingly well with the rich fruits and spice from the cask. The result is a multidimensional single malt whisky and something new and unique for Port Charlotte.”
