The Port Charlotte Syrah SYC:01 Whisky is a heavily peated Islay single malt, part of Bruichladdich’s experimental Cask Exploration Series. This limited-edition release showcases the influence of Syrah wine casks, bringing together rich dark fruit, bold spice, and intense smoky depth.
Distilled using 100% Scottish barley and peated to 40 PPM, this expression is matured in a combination of American oak and French Syrah wine casks, imparting a deep, complex character that blends Port Charlotte’s signature coastal smoke with the vibrant fruit and spice of Syrah wine.
Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill filtered, and with no added color, the Port Charlotte Syrah SYC:01 Whisky is an exceptionally bold and complex whisky. Whether you're a peat lover or a fan of wine-cask-matured single malts, this limited release offers a unique fusion of Islay smoke and Syrah richness—a dram that whisky connoisseurs won’t want to miss.
SPECIFICATIONS
Nose Caramel sweetness is immediate on the nose, followed by a medley of fresh fruit and a subtle hint of peat smoke. Top notes of strawberry, red apple, apricot jam and mixed berries from the Syrah casks come to the fore, underpinned by a combination of oak and lingering smoke. Gentle spices from the oak, ginger, marzipan and honey complement the fruity character, heighted with bonfire-smoked oak sweetness.
Palate Charred oak and elegant barbeque peat smoke coat the palate, beautifully balanced with sweet fruit. Vibrant notes of candied peel, fresh mango, brown sugar and sweet bubble gum add a lightness and complexity, cutting through the smoke. A drop of water draws out the aromatic oak, as lavender and herbal notes combine with smooth honey, ground ginger and roasted coffee beans.
Finish While the sweetness of fruit and oak remain, a gentle wave of peat smoke is unmistakable on the finish. Toasted Brazil nuts, coconut and cocoa powder bring a delicate creaminess, while a hint of dried seaweed lingers.
