A peaty whisky from Islay's Bruichladdich distillery, this 2011-vintage Port Charlotte was distilled entirely from grain grown on the island. The barley was harvested from three farms in 2010 and sent for malting on the mainland. When it returned, it was milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, matured and bottled all that distillery. 

Well-peated Port Charlotte single malt from Bruichladdich, made exclusively with barley grown on the isle of Islay. The two varieties of barley used (Oxbridge and Publican barley) were grown by three Islay farms - Dunlossit, Kilchiaran and Sunderland. The whisky was distilled in 2011 and allowed to mature in 75% first-fill American whisky casks and 25% second-fill red wine casks (Syrah and Figero wine) for 6 years, and has been peated to 40PPM. 

Like its Islay neighbour Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich has traditionally been an un-peated single malt, mostly owing to its requirements by the blenders who owned it. The last of these was Whyte and Mackay, who eventually shut it down in 1995, deeming it surplus to requirements. They sold the distillery to Murray McDavid in 2001, who launched the peated Port Charlotte and heavily-peated Octomore single malts in 2006 and 2008. A recommissioned Lomond still also now produces the popular Botanist gin there.
