PMC:01 is a masterful blend of terroirs, initially matured in first-fill Bourbon barrels in 2013 for four years, then artfully transferred in 2017 to Pomerol casks for an additional five years of aging. This pioneering release from Port Charlotte, aged in the esteemed Bordeaux wine barrels, marries the lush, fruit-rich character of Pomerol oak with the unmistakable maritime essence of Islay.
Tasting Note by Bruichladdich:
Nose: Warm peat smoke and red fruits open on the nose, moving to stewed pears, melon and a subtle marine note. Delicate floral notes of rose and geranium follow, with hints of vanilla, honey, leather and toasted oak coming from the wood. As the spirit opens further, a subtle spice mix of clove and ginger comes to the fore, with a touch of marzipan.
Palate: Malt sugar and peat smoke complement the tremendous viscosity of the liquid which coats the palate. The influence of the cask continues and showcases the harmonious balance of oak and fruit, with succulent blackberries, plum and aged leather.
Finish: Mellow marine tones, crushed seashells and a hint of citrus lemon rind nod to the single malt’s all-Islay maturation while Port Charlotte’s signature peat smoke lingers.
