Port Charlotte 18 is a heavily peated Islay single malt from Bruichladdich, in a 70cl bottle at 52.3%. The 2026 edition is limited to 8,000 bottles. It uses Scottish barley peated to 40 PPM, and every step, including the 18 years of maturation, took place on Islay.
The vatting draws on first-fill bourbon, second-fill sherry and ex-virgin oak casks, plus a portion held for five years in first-fill Rhône red wine casks. It is non-chill-filtered, with no added colour.
The nose brings tropical fruit, soft wood smoke, honeycomb and apricot. On the palate, caramelised brown sugar and tropical fruit meet leather and charred oak. The long finish moves from sweet citrus and vanilla cream to smouldering peat.
