TASTING NOTES – PORT CHARLOTTE 2007 CC:01
Nose
Intense hints of peat and smoke are followed by iodine, camphor, and tar. Tropical fruits and a hint of plum syrup are also perceptible. Lastly, fermented tobacco.
Palate
Oily. Powerful and direct and releases notes of walnut and peat, along with iodine, medicinal herbs, and a hint of mineral. A touch of seafood.
Finish
Long persistence. Peat, a lot of peat.
Overall, the Port charlotte 2007 CC:01 is an intense and satisfying Scotch whiskey. It is also equipped with a good level of complexity, despite the not prolonged aging. For peat lovers, a product to try.
