The oak’s softness and the minerality of the spirit become wrapped in smoke, a familiar signature to this dram. Coconut and floral notes waver, and a saline marine element combines with the earthy smoke in the classic Port Charlotte style. The peat smoke comes through on the finish with a more medicinal phenol style. The structure on the palate is firm and round and balances the depth of flavour of this whisky. A little water opens the citrus fruit and marine elements and brings out a little more of the coconut and vanilla notes from the oak. Caramel and chocolate notes emerge alongside the peat smoke with its earthy richness. Another sip helps to order the flavours, and you find the oak notes, the dried fruit, marzipan and spice. As the first drop touches your tongue, a wave of flavours sweep across the palate, the sweetness from the oak and malt lead, followed by the smoke, citrus and dried fruit notes. The earthy peat smoke wraps around the fruit and spice and holds everything together, highlighting the wonderful marine and ozone notes that breeze through the dram. As you nose again, the fruit notes of both the spirit and the wood come together – melon and citrus from the spirit and dried plums and raisin from the cask. Lots of fresh, fruit aromas mingle with the dry peat smoke to entice you into the dram from the oak comes spices – cloves, ginger and cassia, along with chocolate, toasted malt with toffee, brown sugar and delicate coconut and vanilla notes.
